The start point for the best source of fleet information |
A Department for Transport study has found that healthcare professional feel they should be given more training and guidance on assessing whether a patient is fit to drive.
They believe they have a duty of care to advise patients on their fitness to drive, but most feel patients should take more responsibility for their own fitness to drive and that the public should be made more aware of DVLA medical standards.
The DfT survey, carried out by the University of Warwick, also found that only a third of patients that should have been given advice on fitness to drive actually received it without having to ask, with healthcare professionals blaming a range of factors including over-complex DVLA advice, not remembering to discuss driving with patients and the risk of negative effects of not driving on patient well-being or livelihood.
