In addition to this, mandatory medical evaluations play a key role in the process. Vision tests confirm that the driver correctly perceives signs, pedestrians, and other vehicles, while cognitive tests aim to detect potential difficulties with memory, attention, or decision-making. Physical checkups are also performed to identify illnesses or chronic conditions, such as joint or cardiovascular problems, that could affect driving.
Another measure that generates debate is the application of specific restrictions on licenses, instead of a total suspension. In some cases, authorities allow older adults to continue driving under certain conditions, such as driving only during the day, avoiding high-speed routes, or driving within a specific radius. These limitations aim to preserve personal independence while reducing exposure to complex traffic scenarios.

Furthermore, the importance of self-declaration of health status is reinforced. Drivers are required to report any diagnosis that could affect their ability to drive. Failure to provide this information may result in administrative penalties or license suspension, as it is considered a risk to public safety.
