On 17 March 2008, Western Australia implemented the mandatory reporting of long term of permanent medical condition process which is a road safety initiative. The legislation was put in place due to recommendations made from a Coroner’s inquest into the death of a WA driver. The death occurred when a Driver who was suffering from a medical condition which impaired their ability to drive, caused a traffic accident.
