Ysander, Lars

RESUMO

Four hundred and ninety-four disabled drivers, the majority with loss of function in the legs usually as the result of poliomyelitis or amputations, have been studied with respect to the frequency of traffic accidents and serious traffic offences during a 10-year period. Traffic accidents which may have been caused by their disability occurred in only three (0·6%) of the total number of drivers investigated. In all three cases the driver had loss of function in the right leg.
