IN RESPONSE:
When advising a driver of any age, physicians should consider any medical condition that may affect alertness and consciousness while driving. Because relatively few persons in our sample had any one medical condition, we did not feel it was appropriate to draw conclusions about the effect of those medical conditions on driving ability. Therefore, we recommended that such instruments, once fully developed and tested, "be used to supplement existing recommendations about specific medical conditions and driving."
