Applicants for a driving license must meet the physical and mental requirements for this (fitness to drive). If the driving license authority has doubts about the suitability of an applicant, the applicant is examined by an assessment body for driving suitability. There may be doubts about suitability, e.g. in the case of hearing loss, cardiac arrhythmia, but also alcohol abuse and the use of narcotics.
The assessment of fitness to drive is carried out by assessment centers for fitness to drive, which must be officially recognized for this purpose.
