Abstract

In Germany expert testimony on driving ability requires knowledge of the corresponding legislation, the guidelines for expertises on driver aptitude and a qualification in traffic medicine. The testimony should clearly identify handicaps with regard to driving, give estimates on the risks of a sudden loss of the driving capability by stroke recurrence or epileptic seizures, and also consider personal attitudes, such as inadequate behaviour and lack of insight. Physical handicaps can often be compensated for by restraints, such as vehicle modifications and restrictions, such as daylight driving only.The testimony must also give estimates on the risks of a sudden loss of the driving capability by stroke recurrence or epileptic seizures. Two models are proposed by which an estimate of harmful traffic accidents due to stroke recurrence can be made.
