Abstract

The evaluation of the risk of traffic accidents among drivers with IDDM and the grounds for excluding them from a driver's license are topical issues, because the E.C. is issuing strict new guidelines. The risk of diabetic patients being involved in traffic accidents as reported in foreign studies and calculated from Dutch data, does not exceed that which is to be expected on account of the prevalence of DM. This justifies a flexible policy for the licensing of drivers with diabetes mellitus.
