Assessment body for fitness to drive

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The assessment bodies for fitness to drive ( BfF for short ) carry out the assessment of fitness to drive (MPU) regulated in the Driving License Ordinance . Until the liberalization of the field of work in 2000, the term “medical-psychological examination center” was in use. It is still used unofficially.

The MPU offices have the task of checking drivers after driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as well as drivers who have seen conspicuous traffic (" point perpetrators ") or people with an increased potential for aggression in the interests of road safety for their suitability for driving vehicles . As the client, the examined driver bears the costs.

Since the liberalization in 1999, the bodies responsible for assessing fitness to drive have been accredited (until the end of 2009) or assessed by the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt). The first accredited sponsor was TÜV MPI GmbH in 1999.

The requirements for providers of assessment bodies for driving aptitude are set out in the guideline on the requirements for agencies for assessment bodies for driving aptitude ( § 66 FeV ) and their assessment by the Federal Highway Research Institute .
