Safety issue
Regulatory requirements for commercial drivers in the road-train
truck driver's age group dictate that every five years MC class
licence holders are required to undergo a vision test. More
extensive medical assessments are required only when a condition is
reported by a health professional or self reported by the licence
holder.
Safety Recommendation
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the
National Transport Commission and jurisdictions note the wider
implications of this safety issue and consider measures to address
them.
