The number of annual road traffic deaths is steadily increasing. This chapter provides a general overview of the techniques for identifying risk factors for road traffic accidents and the assessment of driving performance and related functioning, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. Traffic medicine and forensic medicine are closely related disciplines that overlap a great deal. Whereas traffic medicine is mainly concerned with driving capability, forensic medicine is concerned with driver culpability. The most widely adopted study design for investigating contributing factors to road traffic accidents and at‐risk drivers is the case–control study . On‐road driving tests are often considered as the most ecologically valid assessments of driving performance. Epidemiological and experimental research attempts to uncover risk factors for road traffic accidents. After a driver has been judged to be unfit to drive, an assessment of driving aptitude may be necessary.
