The CIECA Fit to Drive Topical Group (2017 - 2020) consisted of 2 subgroups: Subgroup 1: Setting Standards for Disabled Driver Assessment, and Subgroup 2: Setting Standards for the Evaluation of Medical Fitness to Drive.
Subgroup 1: Setting Standards for Disabled Driver Assessment
Goals:
- The development of best practice guidelines for the process of disabled driver assessment including defining the qualifications and skill sets necessary for assessment staff and identifying training models for those staff;
- The creation of a structure to share information and best practice developments, to ensure that this is available for experts in the field and that their questions are addressed;
The purpose of this work was to improve consistency of driver assessment practice throughout Europe and beyond and share expertise. The intention was to make the outcomes accessible and freely available to all practitioners in the field.
Subgroup 2: Setting Standards for the Evaluation of Medical Fitness to Drive
The objectives of the subgroup were to discuss the differences and similarities between the fitness to drive evaluation systems in different EU and European Economic Area (EEA) countries, describe the procedures used, assess medical fitness to drive in each country, learn from each other’s procedures and legal requirements, find best practices and suggestions for changes in Annex III of the EU Directive on driving licences.
