BDifficulty 2/5

Can some neurological or mental-health conditions affect abilities needed for driving, such as attention, perception or decision-making?

Correct answer

Yes, depending on the condition, symptoms and treatment, with individual assessment.

Yes, depending on the condition, symptoms, course and treatment. Diagnoses do not all cause the same limitation, and universal risk cannot be assigned merely by disease group. Annex IV of the General Driver Regulations sets fitness criteria and possible restrictions requiring individual assessment. Consult the healthcare professional and driver assessment centre when appropriate, follow advice and do not drive with symptoms or treatment effects that compromise safety.
