Abstract

The bulk of road traffic accidents are not caused by ill drivers and even not at all by mentally ill drivers. So far as diseases are involved in the assessment of suitability to drive, the Joint Advisory Board for Medical Science relating to Traffic Safety and the Federal Minister for Youth, Family and Health have worked out standards for this. Examples were given and the principles were presented according to which expert opinions by doctors and specialists should be made. Otherwise difficulties arise in road traffic from the psychiatric point of view through the nonconformist behavior of the normal citizen who apparently finds it difficult to realize the principles of self-responsibility.
