Six hundred and twelve drivers with chronic disease, mainly diabetes, cardiovascular disease, renal disorders, and diseases of the sense organs, were investigated with regard to the frequency of road accidents and serious driving offences during a 10-year period. Road accidents directly caused by the disease or its treatment occurred in four (0·8%) cases, all due to hypoglycaemic attacks in insulin-treated diabetics. A comparison was made between the investigation series and a control series identical with regard to number, sex, age, and duration of licence-holding. About 50% of the drivers in each series were asked about their exposure to traffic; this proved to be similar in both series. The percentages of drivers experiencing road accidents were 4·1 in the investigation series and 7·7 in the control series. The corresponding figures for road accidents and serious driving offences taken together were 9·8% and 15·3%. The conclusion is drawn that any increased risk to road safety constituted by drivers with the specified chronic diseases may be satisfactorily offset by the restrictions applied in Sweden in the granting of licences to these drivers.
对612名患有慢性疾病的司机进行了为期10年的调查,这些慢性病主要包括糖尿病、心血管疾病、肾脏疾病和感官疾病,调查内容为交通事故发生频率和严重驾驶违规情况。由疾病或其治疗直接导致的交通事故发生了4起(0.8%),均因接受胰岛素治疗的糖尿病患者发生低血糖发作所致。将该调查系列与一个在人数、性别、年龄和持照时长方面相同的对照系列进行了比较。每个系列中约50%的司机被问及他们的交通暴露情况;结果表明两个系列中的情况相似。调查系列中发生交通事故的司机百分比为4.1%,对照系列为7.7%。交通事故和严重驾驶违规行为合并计算的相应数字分别为9.8%和15.3%。得出的结论是,瑞典在向患有特定慢性病的司机发放驾照时所实施的限制措施,可以令人满意地抵消这些司机对道路安全造成的任何增加的风险。
