Cet \u00e9cart soul\u00e8ve une question plus large : la Belgique est-elle confront\u00e9e \u00e0 un probl\u00e8me de respect de la r\u00e9glementation, ou sa l\u00e9gislation relative \u00e0 la conduite des personnes diab\u00e9tiques n'a-t-elle pas su s'adapter aux progr\u00e8s de la m\u00e9decine moderne ?<\/p>\n<p>Ce chiffre est issu d'une enqu\u00eate men\u00e9e par la Diabetes Liga, l'Association du Diab\u00e8te et l'Institut Vias aupr\u00e8s de 1 136 personnes diab\u00e9tiques titulaires d'un permis de conduire. La Belgique compte environ un million de personnes diab\u00e9tiques.<\/p>\n<h4>Mal inform\u00e9<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Les personnes atteintes de diab\u00e8te doivent surveiller elles-m\u00eames leur \u00e9tat de sant\u00e9 et, apr\u00e8s avoir consult\u00e9 leur m\u00e9decin g\u00e9n\u00e9raliste ou leur endocrinologue, s'inscrire aupr\u00e8s de la mairie, en joignant un certificat d'aptitude \u00e0 la conduite d\u00fbment rempli.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Pourtant, la plupart ignorent cette exigence<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Q<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">De nombreuses personnes atteintes de diab\u00e8te ne sont pas suffisamment inform\u00e9es des r\u00e8gles relatives \u00e0 l'aptitude \u00e0 la conduite. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Certaines personnes ignorent que leur permis de conduire doit \u00eatre renouvel\u00e9 r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement. \u00c0 l'inverse, d'autres ne d\u00e9couvrent que plusieurs ann\u00e9es apr\u00e8s leur diagnostic qu'elles doivent demander un permis de conduire adapt\u00e9.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Toutefois, toute personne conduisant sans permis de conduire adapt\u00e9 est l\u00e9galement consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme ne disposant pas d'un permis valide. Cela peut entra\u00eener une amende et avoir des cons\u00e9quences en cas d'accident, m\u00eame si celui-ci n'est pas li\u00e9 au diab\u00e8te. Cela peut \u00e9galement compromettre la couverture d'assurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Selon cette \u00e9tude, un<span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Pr\u00e8s de 8 personnes diab\u00e9tiques interrog\u00e9es sur 10 (78%) sont titulaires d'un permis de conduire adapt\u00e9. Cela signifie que 22% ne respectent pas cette obligation. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">18% des personnes interrog\u00e9es estiment qu'un permis de conduire adapt\u00e9 aux personnes atteintes de diab\u00e8te n'est pas n\u00e9cessaire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>La l\u00e9gislation belge est-elle d\u00e9pass\u00e9e ?<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">L'enqu\u00eate met en \u00e9vidence un \u00e9cart important entre les exigences l\u00e9gales et les connaissances ou les pratiques des personnes atteintes de diab\u00e8te. Les trois organisations susmentionn\u00e9es ont donc l'intention de lancer une campagne de sensibilisation destin\u00e9e aux personnes atteintes de diab\u00e8te et aux professionnels de sant\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Toutefois, toute cette affaire soul\u00e8ve des questions. Pourquoi, par exemple, la l\u00e9gislation est-elle bien moins stricte dans d\u2019autres pays ? Et le l\u00e9gislateur belge a-t-il r\u00e9ellement tenu compte de l\u2019\u00e9volution des traitements contre le diab\u00e8te ?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Les r\u00e8gles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 profond\u00e9ment remani\u00e9es en 2010, mais seize ans plus tard, la prise en charge du diab\u00e8te a consid\u00e9rablement \u00e9volu\u00e9. <span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Est-il donc normal que la l\u00e9gislation parte litt\u00e9ralement du principe qu\u2019une personne atteinte de diab\u00e8te sucr\u00e9 est \u201c inapte \u00e0 la conduite \u201d, avant d\u2019autoriser un m\u00e9decin \u00e0 en d\u00e9cider autrement ?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Au fil des ann\u00e9es, les traitements ont consid\u00e9rablement \u00e9volu\u00e9. Un patient trait\u00e9 par des changements de mode de vie ou par des m\u00e9dicaments pr\u00e9sentant un faible risque d'hypoglyc\u00e9mie est, d'un point de vue m\u00e9dical, tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent d'un utilisateur d'insuline sujet \u00e0 des hypoglyc\u00e9mies s\u00e9v\u00e8res. Pourtant, pour le permis de conduire belge de cat\u00e9gorie B, les deux cas rel\u00e8vent essentiellement du m\u00eame syst\u00e8me d'aptitude m\u00e9dicale valable cinq ans.<\/p>\n<h4>Autres pays europ\u00e9ens<\/h4>\n<p>De l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la fronti\u00e8re, les autorit\u00e9s font de plus en plus cette distinction. Aux Pays-Bas, une personne qui ne prend aucun m\u00e9dicament ou qui suit un traitement sans insuline n'est en principe pas tenue de le signaler imm\u00e9diatement, m\u00eame si le diab\u00e8te doit \u00eatre d\u00e9clar\u00e9 lors des \u00e9tapes pr\u00e9vues par la d\u00e9claration de sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>La France a explicitement modifi\u00e9 sa r\u00e9glementation en 2022 afin de tenir compte des progr\u00e8s scientifiques et technologiques. L'Allemagne adopte une approche encore plus directement ax\u00e9e sur l'\u00e9valuation des risques. Un conducteur souffrant d'un diab\u00e8te bien contr\u00f4l\u00e9 et prenant des m\u00e9dicaments par voie orale pr\u00e9sentant un faible risque d'hypoglyc\u00e9mie est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme apte \u00e0 la conduite.<\/p>\n<p>Le Luxembourg, de son c\u00f4t\u00e9, concentre ses restrictions sur les cas d'hypoglyc\u00e9mie s\u00e9v\u00e8re r\u00e9currente et de perte de conscience, plut\u00f4t que de traiter tous les diagnostics de la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<h4>Risque d'hypoglyc\u00e9mie<\/h4>\n<p>Cela ne signifie pas pour autant que le diab\u00e8te ne pr\u00e9sente aucun risque pour la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 routi\u00e8re. Les \u00e9tudes sont formelles quant au danger que repr\u00e9sente l\u2019hypoglyc\u00e9mie. Des exp\u00e9riences contr\u00f4l\u00e9es men\u00e9es sur simulateur de conduite ont montr\u00e9 que les performances au volant se d\u00e9t\u00e9riorent consid\u00e9rablement, m\u00eame en cas d\u2019hypoglyc\u00e9mie relativement l\u00e9g\u00e8re. La question est de savoir si toutes les personnes chez qui cette maladie a \u00e9t\u00e9 diagnostiqu\u00e9e doivent \u00eatre soumises au m\u00eame r\u00e9gime administratif en mati\u00e8re de permis de conduire.<\/p>\n<p>L'enqu\u00eate Vias r\u00e9v\u00e8le que la Belgique est bel et bien confront\u00e9e \u00e0 un probl\u00e8me de respect des r\u00e8gles, puisque 22% de conducteurs diab\u00e9tiques ne se conforment pas \u00e0 une obligation l\u00e9gale, mais il se peut que le pays soit \u00e9galement confront\u00e9 \u00e0 un probl\u00e8me de l\u00e9gislation.<\/p>\n<p>La m\u00e9decine moderne est de plus en plus \u00e0 m\u00eame de faire la distinction entre un conducteur dont le traitement ne pr\u00e9sente pratiquement aucun risque d'hypoglyc\u00e9mie et une personne souffrant d'hypoglyc\u00e9mies graves et r\u00e9currentes qui ne devrait vraiment pas prendre le volant.<\/p>\n<h4>Syst\u00e8me d'assurance<\/h4>\n<p>La question de l'assurance rend le syst\u00e8me belge encore plus singulier. Si un conducteur belge souffrant d'un diab\u00e8te bien ma\u00eetris\u00e9 conduit \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger sans avoir fait convertir son permis belge et qu'il provoque un accident, la victime n'est pas simplement laiss\u00e9e pour compte par l'assureur.<\/p>\n<p>L'assurance automobile obligatoire belge offre une couverture \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger conform\u00e9ment, au minimum, aux r\u00e8gles obligatoires du pays o\u00f9 l'accident se produit. Toutefois, l'application de l'exception relative au droit \u00e9tranger d\u00e9pend en fin de compte des circonstances sp\u00e9cifiques et de l'interpr\u00e9tation juridique.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belgium requires virtually every driver diagnosed with diabetes to obtain a medically restricted license, while neighboring countries increasingly focus only on those whose condition or treatment creates a real driving risk.
