Doctor's knowledge of driving regulations : an interview-based survey. [letter to the editor]

In August 2001, the Drivers Medical Group (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)) distributed guidelines on medical standards of fitness to drive to all UK-based medical practitioners. Since then, they have updated their guidelines biannually, following working group meetings. The survey reported here used a structured questionnaire, incorporating common medical scenarios, to examine the accessibility of the DVLA guidelines and of doctors’ knowledge of their fundamental points.
