“…Public safety concerns about the driving performance of this group have been supported by evidence showing an increased crash rate per miles driven for drivers aged 70 years or more in comparison with middle-aged drivers (1). This increase has been attributed to age-related changes in driving skills (2) and to various medical illnesses (3). One such illness is dementia.…”

“…The following observations were obtained from Tables 3, 4, and 5: (1) All age groups for women with restricted licenses for heart disease and vi¬ sion deterioration have violation rates lower than those of the total population. (2) Male drivers at age 18 and older with a licensing restriction for heart disease have lower accident rates than their counterparts in the population. Diabetes, Epilepsy, Fainting, and Other Licens¬ ing Restrictions.-Drivers with diabetes, epilepsy, fainting, and other diseases necessitating licensing restrictions have statistically higher accident rates than the population of Washington drivers.…”

Article abstract-Studies of automobile accident frequency among drivers with AD have yielded conflicting results about the risk of accidents. To develop a practice parameter regarding driving and AD the authors performed a systematic review of the literature. The authors identified well-designed, controlled studies of driving and AD using the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database. The authors also compared the relative rates of crashes and other performance measurements of driving ability in the populations studied. Driving was found to be mildly impaired in those drivers with probable AD at a severity of Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) 0.5. This impairment was no greater than that tolerated in other segments of the driving population (e.g., drivers age 16 to 21 and those driving under the influence of alcohol at a blood alcohol concentration [BAC] < 0.08%). Drivers with AD at a severity of CDR 1 were found to pose a significant traffic safety problem both from crashes and from driving performance measurements.
