Abstract
A driving ability reduction determining apparatus comprising a virtual image display portion, an operation portion, a response detection portion and a driving ability determination portion is disclosed. The virtual image display portion emits a determination-usage display image toward a windshield, thereby displaying to the driver the determination-usage display image as a virtual image through the windshield. The operation portion is operated by the driver when the driver visually recognizes the determination-usage display image. The response detection portion detects a response situation of driver's operation of the operation portion in response to display of the determination-usage display image by the virtual image display portion. The driving ability determination portion determines the driving ability reduction of the driver based on a detection result of the response detection portion.
