Where a person has a medical condition that affects their ability to drive safely, they are a risk to other road users as well as themselves. NZTA state that medical conditions are a contributing factor in crashes that cause death and injury on New Zealand roads. GPs play an important role in helping to reduce the risk of harm on the roads by determining whether a person is fit to drive.
