abstract="On account of the right to mobility on the one hand and increased necessity for traffic safety on the other, physicians are more and more required to enhance involvement in traffic medicine. By the means of competent and professional acting, physicians should preventively contribute to traffic, safety [i.e. by informing about the influence of medical treatment on driving ability]. It is a matter of public interest to medically trace drives not able to drive. Proof of driving inability presupposes carefully done, standardized and reproducible clinical examination, along with the correct sampling of blood and urine. The knowledge of the most common pharmaceutical substances' effects on relevant traffic-related psycho-physical performances ensures timesaving medical examination and, due to the possibility to carry out more specific chemical analyses, important minimalization of the costly chemical analyses and therefore to less overall expenses. Finally, standardized proceeding makes possible medical realization of social responsibility and therefore improves jurisdiction.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
