The World Health Organization is focused on health promotion, which is actually a common activity in the social and the medical field. Focusing the public health services on the means of prevention has a salutary role. Due to comorbidities and risk of road accidents, the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) draws the attention of the health services. We conducted an observational descriptive study, using as a tool the Modified Stop Bang questionnaire, applied to a number of 293 people registered at three driving schools.

It is necessary the implementation in Health Services of some information systems on the population about OSAS, moreover the OSAS investigation should be compulsory in the medical record of the drivers ' enrolment in the driving school.
