Abstract

The new traffic legislation in Germany ("FeVAndV") solves at least the most urgent problems for the ophthalmological driver's license assessment which were present in the old, preceding regulations ("FeV"). Many suggestions of the traffic committee of the German Ophthalmological Society ("DOG") were taken into consideration. As expected, the recommendations of the traffic committee concerning an obligatory test of mesopic vision were not adopted into the new legislation. We still have the unacceptable situation that on the one hand the European legislation demands an obligatory test of mesopic vision in suspected candidates and the German legislation even has the necessary key note for a ban on night driving ("05.01"). On the other hand, testing of mesopic vision is not considered on a regular basis in the new German regulations. This is not acceptable from an ophthalmological point of view.
