Z02.4: Examination for driving licence
The term "Examination for driving licence" refers to a health check-up or screening procedure carried out to determine an individual's physical and psychological fitness to operate a motor vehicle safely. It involves comprehensive assessments including, but not limited to, vision testing, hearing evaluation, neurological and mental state examination. This examination is important to ensure that all potential drivers can meet the essential physical and mental standards for operating a vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of driving-related accidents and injuries. It should be noted that the requirements for passing this examination may vary depending on various factors such as local laws, the type of driving license being applied for, and the individual's current health status. The examination does not diagnose a specific medical condition but can detect existing health problems that may impact driving ability.
