This article evaluates the road safety impact of medical fitness-to-drive policies and road safety losses during the time when medical cases were still under review and the driver still active (no losses found) and what number of crashes that were prevented by the work with evaluating medical driver fitness. Quite a few collisions were prevented but the interventional effect of the medical review program differed by medical condition.
