Driving is a highly complicated activity that requires a combination of motor, visual, and cognitive skills to avoid catastrophic accidents. But these skills are often impaired after individuals suffer mild traumatic brain injuries or concussions.
In fact, more than 3.8 million concussions occur annually in the United States, but only 44% of concussed individuals reduce their driving. Despite this knowledge, there are no established regulations to ensure post-concussion driving safety.
