The choice by fast and safe transportation that seeks to meet the needs of leisure, work and health along with tax exemption policies make the acquisition of the vehicle a viable option for some drivers with disabilities. However, once inserted in the traffic it is necessary to guarantee road safety conditions to minimize the exposure of drivers with disabilities to risk of accident. Scientific research involving vehicular traffic is important in guiding public road safety policies, and allows us to know the mortality rates and estimate the costs involved in providing care to the trauma victim. However, little is known about the percentage of accidents involving drivers with disabilities and their implications in the context of accidents as a whole. This review aims to study vehicular traffic accidents caused by disabled drivers. The theoretical reference orbits around the theoretical contributions and researches of scholars in the areas of collective health and epidemiology.
