Samenvatting

The objective of this study was to identify factors in a medical examination that distinguish convicted older drivers with traffic violations from other drivers. The subjects were thirty-seven drivers older than age 65, whose driving licenses have been temporarily suspended, each matched to one control subject based on ae, sex, type of driving license, year of first license, living area, educational level, and annual distance driven. Case and control subjects were compared with respect to medical history, medication use, blood tests, drawing and memory tests, Mini-Mental State Examination, medical status findings, visual acuity, and brain imaging procedures. The results of the study are presented.
