Abstract

The North Carolina Driver Medical Evaluation Program (MEP) is designed to identify drivers with physical and/or mental impairments which may adversely affect their driving and directed at influencing their driving behavior in a positive fashion. This study examines the impact of the initial medical review (IMR) on the driving performance (as measured by crashes and violations) of those persons who had their initial medical review in 1978 and 1979 (N = 6953). Their driving records are examined for a period of two years before and after IMR. Their driving performance is compared with that of all drivers in the North Carolina Driver History File in 1981.
