Crashes and Violations Among Drivers with Alzheimer Disease
Arch Neurol 53:411-416, Trobe,J.D.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This study,the largest to our knowledge involving state driving records of patients with AD,does not confirm the previously reported excessive crash rate among drivers with AD relative to an appropriate comparison population.Reduced driving exposure of patients with AD probably kept their crash adverse equal to that of comparison subjects.Intervention by physicians and family members was a major factor in reducing driving exposure.These findings affirm that the mere diagnosis of AD does not justify license revocation.
