Abstract

The report describes the current regulations and routines for driving licensing and rules applied for matters concerning driving licensing and vehicle adaptation for people with physical impairments in Sweden. Deficiencies in the so-called mediating process i.e. from initial assessment of fitness to drive to adaptation of the car and driving licensing are identified and described. The Swedish conditions are compared to other countries and preliminary recommendations are presented concerning test/assessment of fitness to drive, driving test and vehicle inspection, adaptation appraisal, delivery control, standards and directives, and competence centres. (A) This report has also been published in Swedish ("Regler och rutiner för godkännande av handikappanpassade förarplatser i personbilar" VTI rapport 447).
