abstract="BACKGROUND: The aim of the present project was to determine: (a) at what age the psychomotor functions begin to decline, which would justify routine testing to assess them, and (b) at what level the declining psychomotor functions can be recognized as a contraindication against driving motor vehicles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The subjects were 186 motor vehicle drivers, aged 26-64 years. The parameters examined included eye-hand coordination and reaction time. RESULTS: The analysis of the results revealed that a significantly decreased level of psychomotor function could be noted at the age of 45 years. CONCLUSIONS: It was assumed that the results of psychological tests performed by persons with 0.05% BAC can be the empirical criterion for a decline that would significantly impair the driver's work capability. The findings of our study made it possible to develop a proposal for modifying the testing procedure and the principles of certifying work capability of motor vehicle drivers.<p /><p>Language: pl</p>",
