It recommended that New York, now trailing other states in these matters, should provide by law that: 1) every applicant for a license to drive public vehicles must have a thorough physical examination, including an electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram, 2) the examinations must be repeated every year, 3) nobody who has ever had a heart ailment or been diagnosed as psychotic may get such a license...
