DRIVING HAZARDS There are many driving haz ards - such as; visual disor ders, uncontrolled epilepsy, certain cardiac conditions and diabetes. Perhaps, the greatest threat to safe driving is al coholism. Mental illness also creates risks, and even more so when the person is flighty, agitated, suspicious, or short tempered. When mental or e- motional disorders co-exist with suicidal tendencies or al coholism, the accident rate in creases. Loss of a limb or partial par alysis does not necessarily mean a person is an unsafe driver, as a protheses (arti ficial limb) or an automobile with special devices can be used safely.
