Abstract
Police play a significant role in identifying potentially unfit drivers and riders on our roads and keeping our roads safe. This presentation explains how Victoria Police has enhanced its referral practices in dealing with fitness to drive issues through the development of a Licence Review Field to enable monitoring of collision associated referrals, the introduction of a new Licence Review Referral form and the implementation of a letter for police to give to drivers where there has been direct police involvement in the referral process.
