Revocation of driving license on grounds of disease or disability
AI Assist
Summary
Licensing authority can revoke a driving licence or require the holder to produce a medical certificate if it reasonably believes the person is unfit to drive because of a disease or disability. The medical certificate must be in the same form and manner required for licences. If a different authority revokes the licence, it must inform the authority that issued it.
Example
Rohan notices his eyesight worsening and a complaint reaches the regional licensing office. The licensing authority, reasonably believing he is unfit, asks Rohan to produce the prescribed medical certificate and warns that his driving licence may be revoked if he cannot. If the regional office that revokes the licence is different from the one that issued it, it will notify the issuing authority.
