Abstract
A survey of psychiatrists was conducted to determine their current knowledge of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) regulations and the advice they give to their patients regarding driving with psychiatric illness and/or medication. The results indicate that both knowledge and practices vary widely. In view of the potential risks of driving when not well or fully alert, information regarding driving should be a standard part of the advice given to all psychiatric patients.
