Abstract
The American Medical Association 1 American Medical Association Policy compendium of the American Medical Association. American Medical Association, Chicago, IL1996 Google Scholar has recommended that guidelines be developed for the driving licensure of persons who have sleep-related disorders that would be based on the extent to which those disorders contribute to traffic accidents and injuries. There is concern that regulators might attempt to restrict the driving privileges of apnea patients because of “lapses of consciousness” as defined by the “inability to respond rationally to the environment (excluding psychiatric conditions).” 2 State of California Department of Motor Vehicles. Lapse of consciousness disorders. In: Division of driver safety manual. Sacramento, CA: California Department of Motor Vehicles, 1995; 18: 22–18.50 Google Scholar
