Traffic-law enforcement and risk of death from motor-vehicle crashes: case-crossover study

Fitness to Drive in Patients with Brain Tumours: The Influence of Mandatory Reporting Legislation on Radiation Oncologists in Canada

“…Congruent with the American and Australian studies, we found that radiation oncologists in Canada are heterogeneous in their knowledge and application of the laws on reporting ability to drive in their patients. Redelmeier et al enumerated several factors that may contribute to the reluctance and uncertainty of physicians to report patients as unfit to drive to provincial or territorial transportation authority: an intent to preserve the patient's quality of life 15 , a lack of attention 16 , a lack of tools to determine fitness 17 , and a lack of straightforwardness of the reporting requirements 4 . Indeed, the physician is challenged by the competing interests of being a patient advocate and also a protector of society 5,6,8 .…”

“…All provinces and territories in Canada except for Nova Scotia, Alberta, and Quebec currently impose on physicians a legal requirement to report drivers with medical conditions that impede their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle 4 . However, the legal requirement to report potentially unfit drivers to the proper authorities varies between provinces with a reporting requirement.…”

Medical interventions to reduce motor vehicle collisions

“…Most specific interventions have yielded a modest survival benefit (Table 1). [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Interventions for preventing trauma caused by motor vehicle collisions fall into a 4-part framework that has not changed in decades and mostly • Almost all motor vehicle collisions can be prevented; serious collisions suggest a failure of prevention.…”
