240. Health
Health can affect a person’s ability to drive safely. Illness, injury, poor vision, reduced mobility, fatigue, certain medical conditions and some medicines can interfere with concentration, reaction time, judgement or vehicle control. Drivers should recognise when their physical or mental condition may make driving unsafe and should seek medical advice when necessary. In some countries, specific health conditions must be reported and may require a medical examination or restrictions on the driving licence.
