Driver’s Medical Exam
At Kings Medical Centre, we offer Driver’s Medical Exams to ensure that you are physically fit to drive safely, whether you’re a senior, a commercial driver, or someone with a medical condition that could affect your ability to drive.
In Alberta, certain drivers must complete a medical exam to meet provincial standards for safe driving. Our clinic offers these exams for:
- Seniors (75 and older): Seniors are required to pass a medical exam to assess both physical and cognitive fitness for driving.
- Commercial Drivers: Drivers with Class 1, 2, or 4 licenses, or a “Condition Code C” on their license, must regularly undergo medical exams to ensure they are fit to operate commercial vehicles.
- Drivers with Health Conditions: If you have health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or other medical concerns, you may need a medical exam to evaluate how these conditions may affect your ability to drive safely.
These exams help ensure that all drivers meet necessary health standards and contribute to keeping the roads safe for everyone.
