Abstract		The pilot study comprised a random sample of 30 male amateur drivers (first group, category B according to the Slovene traffic safety legislation) and a random sample of 30 male disabled amateur drivers (first group, category B) who had their last medical examination in 1998. A comparison of the two samples showed that male nondisabled drivers, especially those with severe impairments and a limited driving ability, more frequently caused traffic offences and accidents. Disabled drivers were older and more frequently had severe health impairments than nondisabled drivers. Most disabled drivers had had their cars adapted to the type of their disability. Periodic health check-ups and driving tests were also required. As was assumed in our hypothesis, disabled drivers clearly present a lesser threat to traffic safety in Slovenia, so they should have some benefits, especially for motor third party insurance, but also other benefits. However, defining the extent, content and rate of these benefits will require a more thorough research aver a longer observation period. The current Slovene traffic safety legislation does not prescribe any benefits for disabled amateur drivers.
Summary		V pilotski raziskavi, ki je zajela slučajni vzorec 30 moških voznikov B-kategorije amaterjev in slučajni vzorec 30 moških voznikov invalidov B-kategorije amaterjev, nazadnje zdravstveno pregledanih v letu 1998, smo ugotovili, da so bili moški vozniki neinvalidi, zlasti tisti s težjimi zdravstvenimi okvarami in omejitvijo vozniške zmožnosti, pogostejši povzročitelji cestnoprometnih prekrškov, torej kršitelji cestnoprometnih predpisov kot vozniki invalidi, ob upoštevanju dejstva, da so bili vozniki invalidi starejši in s pogostejšimi in težjimi zdravstvenimi okvarami kot neinvalidi. Te so pretežno pogojevale ustrezno prilagoditev osebnega vozila ob časovnih kontrolah zdravstvenega stanja in vozniške zmožnosti. Torej vozniki amaterji invalidi veliko manj ogrožajo varnost v cestnem prometu kot neinvalidi, zato bi jim veljalo priznati določene olajšave zlasti pri plačilu zavarovanja avtomobilske odgovornosti in še druge olajšave, vendar bo za opredelitev obsega, vsebine in stopnje le-teh potrebna še podrobnejša in obsežnejša raziskava za daljše obdobje. Veljavna zakonodaja na področju varnosti v cestnem prometu namreč zaenkrat ne predpisuje posebnih olajšav za voznike invalide.
