There are only few investigations about the driving ability in demented patients. The available data point to an elevated risk of accident. Patients with very mild dementia, however, are often fit enough to drive. Unfortunately there are no tests available to identify demented drivers with a high risk of accidents. So it remains an individual decision of the doctor to assess the driving ability in demented patients. The caregiver's assessment of the driving competency and psychometric tests are helpful, if an in-car road test is not possible. Further investigations and simple tests are needed.
关于痴呆患者驾驶能力的研究很少。现有数据表明事故风险升高。然而，轻度痴呆患者通常身体状况足以驾驶。不幸的是，目前没有可用于识别事故风险高的痴呆驾驶者的测试。因此，评估痴呆患者的驾驶能力仍然是医生的个人决定。如果无法进行车内道路测试，护理人员对驾驶能力的评估和心理测试会有所帮助。还需要进一步的研究和简单测试。
