MPU Info

The Medical-Psychological Examination (MPU).

What is the MPU?

The MPU is a psychological and medical evaluation designed to assess:

  • Mental and Emotional Fitness to Drive
    Determines whether an individual is psychologically fit to handle the responsibilities of driving.

  • Physical Health for Driving
    Ensures there are no medical conditions that could impair safe vehicle operation.

  • Driving Behavior and Responsibility
    Evaluates whether the individual has reformed after offenses such as DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or reckless driving.

When is an MPU Required in Norway?

In Norway, similar evaluations are required in certain cases. You may need to undergo an MPU if:

  • Driving Under the Influence (DUI):
    If caught driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be required to undergo a medical and behavioral assessment before getting your license reinstated.

  • Loss of License Due to Reckless Driving:
    Habitual traffic violations, such as speeding or dangerous driving, may require a psychological evaluation before you can regain your license.

  • Serious Accidents:
    Drivers involved in accidents caused by negligence or misconduct may be required to prove their fitness to drive.

  • Medical Concerns:
    If there are concerns about your health (e.g., neurological conditions, vision impairments, or mental health issues), a medical examination may be required.

What Does the Examination Involve?

The MPU or its equivalent in Norway typically consists of three components:

  • Medical Examination:
    This includes a thorough check of your physical health, focusing on conditions that could impair driving, such as vision, motor function, or neurological issues.

  • Psychological Evaluation:
    A psychologist evaluates your behavior, personality, and responsibility as a driver. This is particularly important if you have been involved in DUI or reckless driving incidents.

  • Performance Tests:
    Reaction time, concentration, and multitasking abilities may be tested to ensure you can handle the demands of driving.
