Doctors rarely report patients whose health makes them dangerous behind the wheel
Jerusalem Post

As physicians filed only 3,000 reports to the Health Ministry last year on licensed drivers with medical conditions or taking medications that endanger themselves and others on the roads, government experts have called for the amendment of the original 1961 law and 11-year-old ministry explanations of it.
They voiced their position at a first-ever conference on medical ethics and driving, initiated by the Israel Medical Association's Ethics Bureau, held on Sunday evening at Jerusalem's Mishkenot Sha'ananim Adenauer conference center and organized by the Jerusalem Ethics Center and Or Yarok, the voluntary organization that fights road accidents.
