- (1) It is the policy of DMV to promote safety for all persons who travel or otherwise use the public highways of this state.
- (2) The underlying policy of the Department's rules on medically at-risk drivers is to preserve the independence, dignity, and self-esteem that result from providing one's own mobility, so long as it is possible to do so without risk to oneself or to others.
- (3) It is therefore an objective of these rules, OAR 735, division 074, to establish a program for the mandatory reporting to DMV of those drivers who have functional and cognitive impairments that may affect the person's driving ability. OAR 735, division 076, also authorizes acceptance of a mandatory report as a non-mandatory report when the report fails to meet mandatory reporting requirements, but does meet non-mandatory reporting requirements.
