In addition, certain states require  \nhealth care professionals to report unsafe drivers or drivers with specific medical conditions to the driver licensing agency. State law restrictions for older drivers vary according to age requirements of additional drivers, length of renewal cycle, vision requirements, license restrictions, level of mandatory reporting by health care professionals, civil immunity, anonymity protection, and process for evaluation by medical advisory boards. The effectiveness of driving restrictions in reducing vehicle crashes or fatalities involving older adults also varies from state to state.  \nLicensing agency contact information by state is listed below, along with additional resources for locating license renewal criteria, reporting procedures, and medical advisory board information. These materials are intended to guide healthcare professionals in understanding their legal responsibilities and managing the driving safety of their patients. The information provided should neither be construed as legal advice nor used to resolve legal problems. If legal advice is required, a licensed attorney (in the relevant state) should be consulted.  \nA database of state license renewal cycles, vision requirements, and procedures can be found at:  \nn Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ([www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/laws/olderdrivers](www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/laws/olderdrivers))  \nn Insurance Information Institute ([www.iii.org/](www.iii.org/))  \nThis information is subject to change, and statues for specific states should be checked for up-to-date changes in laws or requirements.
