A question that often arises in daily practice is whether a psychiatric patient should be considered as still fit to drive.
To describe the Dutch regulations concerning psychiatric patients’ fitness to drive and to evaluate the scientific basis of these regulations.
Information about the current regulations was collected and summarised and the specialist literature was reviewed.
The regulations in the Netherlands are rather strict and as a result persons with a psychiatric illness can sometimes have their driving license withdrawn for a long period. The literature that was reviewed reveals that there is much uncertainty concerning the relationship between psychiatric illness and its effects on fitness to drive.
The specialist literature indicates that some of the Dutch regulations are unfair and too rigid. In this article the consequences for daily practice are considered and a plea is made for more research and for laws and regulations that have a more solid basis.

描述荷兰关于精神科患者驾驶适宜性的规定,并评估这些规定的科学依据。
收集并总结了有关现行规定的信息,并查阅了专业文献。
荷兰的规定相当严格,因此患有精神疾病的人有时会被长期吊销驾照。所查阅的文献表明,关于精神疾病与其对驾驶适宜性的影响之间的关系存在很多不确定性。
专业文献表明,荷兰的一些规定不公平且过于严格。本文考虑了对日常实践的影响,并呼吁进行更多研究以及制定更有坚实基础的法律法规。
