If a driver suffers from an illness, is there an obligation or an advisability to consult the doctor about the precautions to take at the wheel?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Any illness, whether acute or chronic, as well as the drug treatments prescribed to combat it, can impair the psychophysical abilities needed to control a vehicle in complete safety (causing drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision or altered reflexes). For this reason, the driver must always consult the doctor to find out whether it is safe to drive and what specific precautions to take. It is not true that this guideline is limited to chronic disorders: any significant temporary condition also requires advice. Nor is it true that the decision belongs exclusively to the driver, because underestimating medical symptoms seriously increases the risk of suffering a road accident.
