An applicant for a Class 1, 2, 3, or 4 license must have a medical examination by a qualified physician and submit a completed medical report on a form prescribed by the department:
- At the time of application;
- Every renewal date thereafter; and
- Annually after the age of 64.
On the basis of this report, the Registrar will determine whether or not a certain class of license may be issued, or if it may be issued with restrictions. To aid in this determination, the following minimum standards have been set:
- 6/9 (20/30) vision in the better eye and 6/15 (20/50) in the weaker eye, with or without corrective lenses for Classes 1, 2, and 4;
- A horizontal visual field of at least 120° in each eye (tested separately) for Classes 1, 2, and 4;
- The ability to perceive a forced whispered voice at 1.5 to 2 metres or to engage in a normal conversation at 8-10 metres; and
- No evidence of any mental, emotional, nervous or physical disorder which may interfere with the safe operation of a motor vehicle.
Specific medical conditions which may prevent an applicant from obtaining a license are listed in the regulations for each license class.
