NZTA require all drivers to be medically fit to drive, to ensure all drivers, and others on the roads, are as safe as possible. This includes heavy vehicle drivers, taxi drivers, bus drivers, train drivers, and ofcourse all car drivers – teens to seniors. Legally – If your GP, Geriatrician, Psychiatrist,and Occupational Therapist have concerns that your ability to drive safely may have changed, due to medical conditions, he/she will have to request you to undergo a medical evaluation by a Professional NZ Driving Instructor This is not the same as a ‘road safety test’. The standard ‘on road safety test’ is not an accepted assessment of medical fitness to drive. Driving is a privilege not a right. For more NZTA information click here |

Most motor vehicle accidents involving medically at risk drivers occur close to home or in a familiar location… Impaired decision making for entering intersections or making right turns is a safety problem in both familiar and unfamiliar locations. WELLINGTON – PALMERSTON NORTH CLIENTS – However, if you live in the lower north island you can contact occupational therapist Julie Roberts by email to: julie@reable.co.nz or Ph: 0220 254327 |
NZTA – Declaring medical conditionsYou have to complete a medical declaration when you complete any driver licence application form. This asks you to declare any conditions that may affect your ability to drive safely, including:
If you answer ‘yes’ to any of these you may need to provide a medical or eyesight certificate. |
|
SAFE driving is paramount – No one wants to injure another person, because they are a medically / cognitively unsafe driver. We all have to take responsibility to ensure we are medically safe to drive. You may need a medical driving assessment to find out. Although many people have an excellent driving record, when we develop medical conditions things can sometimes change. It is much better to know whether or not we are still a medically safe driver, rather than to wait for an accident or tragedy occur, to find out. |
