What guideline must drivers who suffer from a chronic illness follow before getting behind the wheel of a vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Having a chronic illness does not automatically disqualify someone from driving, unless a doctor or a driver medical test center determines a specific psychophysical limitation. To drive safely, the driver must know the symptoms of their illness well and consult their doctor about the side effects of the medicines they take (drowsiness, dizziness, impaired reflexes). Stopping driving permanently in any circumstances is incorrect, because the great majority of people with chronic illnesses can drive by following appropriate medical guidance. And requesting a special permit or authorization from the Provincial Traffic Office is not the right course either: there is no special permit for illness; instead the ordinary license is kept, with possible restrictions or a reduced validity period if the medical test so determines.
