Abstract

With the aging of the population, physicians are increasingly faced with questions about patients' fitness to drive. When an older patient's driving competency is questioned, a comprehensive, step-by-step assessment is recommended. A discussion of the various considerations that are important in assessing and counselling drivers and their families regarding a patient's ability to drive safely is presented. The medico-legal aspects of the issue are also addressed.
