title: Work by Alberta researchers may free MDs from awkward fitness-to-drive decisions.
abstract: An Alberta researcher has developed tests that determine whether a senior citizen with cognitive impairment is fit to drive. The issue is important to the medical profession because these drivers sometimes cause accidents and physicians often have to decide whether they should still be allowed to get behind the wheel.
