Updated medical standards for assessing whether private and commercial vehicle drivers are fit to drive safely will come into effect from 1 March this year.
National Transport Commission (NTC) Chief Executive Nick Dimopoulos said ensuring that drivers are fit to drive safely is a crucial element to improving road safety.
“As part of the NTC’s role in maintaining reforms, the standards have been thoroughly updated in line with advances in medical knowledge and regulatory best practice,” said Mr Dimopoulos.
