[The elderly in traffic--future aspects].

In 1976 and 1982 two surveys about traffic and public transportation in the Federal Republic of Germany were undertaken. Four aspects which are meaningful for gerontological research are presented, i.e. possession of a driving license, ownership of a car, availability of a car in the own household and preferred transportation. The data are given for different age groups. These four aspects can be regarded as indicators for motor mobility. Far more people in younger age groups are in possession of a driving license than in older age groups. The same can be shown for the ownership and availability of a car. Compared with the 1976 data only few elderly people in 1982 had stopped using a car. So we can expect that German elderly people of the future will possess a driving license and drive a car in far greater numbers than elderly people today. The better possibilities of motor mobility will have consequences about traffic planning and psychological research about accidents, services for the elderly, and intergenerational relations.

[New medical guidelines for fitness specifications for automobile driving (Tauvo K)--neurology/psychiatry specialty].

New medical guidelines for assessing the fitness of drivers came into force in the GDR on 1 June 1982. The aims and conception of the thorough revision this entailed are stated in respect of neurology and psychiatry. Dynamic fitness tests are characterized by an objective, unbiased individual prognosis that takes medical treatment, the side effects of drugs and both the psychological and physical ability to compensate for shortcomings into account. This leads to the differentiated assessment of the individual and permits the assessment "fit with reservations". Some of the 11 points contained in the neuropsychiatric part of the new guidelines are discussed briefly.
