Driving license

Abstract

The driving license is an official document that states that a person may operate a motorized vehicle on a public roadway. A driver's ability to control a motor vehicle can be impaired by physical and mental conditions. Any driver with any medical condition has, as a weighted average, a 33 % higher risk of being involved in an MVA than a driver without any medical condition. The unfitness to drive by medical conditions significantly contribute to the fatal and nonfatal MVAs and economic losses to the victims, their families, and nations as a whole. Updating the drivers' license based on the recommended minimum standards of physical and mental fitness for private and commercial drivers is essential to prevent MVAs due to unfitness to drive by medical conditions.
