How will MTO know if a commercial driver has a medical condition that may pose a risk to safe driving?
Under the ministry’s mandatory reporting requirement, physicians/optometrists must report all drivers who suffer from a medical/vision condition that poses a risk to road safety. Sections 203/204 under the Highway Traffic Act require physicians/optometrists to report patients 16 years and older who are suffering from a medical/vision condition that may make it dangerous for that person to drive safely. When such a report is received, the ministry may suspend the driver’s licence, which includes the commercial licence, until a medical report is received by the ministry indicating that the medical condition has stabilized and the driver meets the medical/vision standards.
