A DESCRIPTION OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DRIVER MEDICAL EVALUATION SYSTEM

A system to medically evaluate drivers was begun in 1964 in North Carolina. An objective of the overall study of which this report is the first part is to examine the driving performance of persons in the medical evaluation system in terms of moving violations and crashes. In order to better interpret the results of the analyses of the driving records of these medically impaired individuals, it is necessary to have an adequate knowledge of the entire medical evaluation process. Therefore, HSRC has undertaken a documentary study of the medical evaluation system. This report is a description of North Carolina's Medical Evaluation Program.
