Abstract
Dizziness is one of the most frequent complaints of patients and up to 20% consult physicians for it every year. Patients can suffer from dif- ferent types of symptoms, including spontaneous vertigo spells, head-movement-induced vertigo spells and chronic dizziness. All of these symptoms are highly relevant while driving and may put the patient and their surroundings in significant danger. This paper highlights the impact of aspects relevant to the dizzy patient on driving ability (incl. the impact of medication and surgery).
