When a report is submitted flagging these conditions, “it will result in a licence suspension,” a ministry document states. The most common medical conditions in the data were dementia, epilepsy and strokes.

Those who feel the suspension was unfair can send the ministry medical information indicating they do not pose a threat. English was removed from the treatment program and his driver’s licence was suspended despite his perfect driving record.
