This little paperback of about 50 pages contains valuable and difficult to locate information to help the physician whose advice is sought about a person's fitness to operate a motor vehicle. There are seven chapters dealing with important problems which may adversely affect an individual's fitness to drive. These are: cardiac conditions, diabetes, epilepsy, the nervous system, drugs, vision, ageing, locomotor disabilities, and fatigue and boredom resulting from long uninterrupted penods sitting behind the steering wheel.
