If you have a chronic illness, what should you do about the illness and treatment before driving?

Correct answer

Understand their effects on driving and follow medical advice and applicable restrictions.

Understand how they may affect driving and consult your doctor or pharmacist as appropriate. Fitness depends on the illness, its control and treatment; a chronic illness does not always mean an automatic driving ban or require a special licence. Observe applicable restrictions and do not drive if the illness, medication effects or medical advice require this. Do not stop or change treatment on your own in order to drive.
