Starting today, drivers with vision issues, mental health conditions, or alcohol-related histories may have their driving licenses denied or revoked. New medical regulations apply to both obtaining and renewing licenses, with exceptions allowing some drivers to retain their licenses under specific circumstances. The changes, effective from November 6, 2026, align with European standards and emphasize that a medical diagnosis does not automatically disqualify a driver. Enhanced evaluations for vision impairments and mental health conditions are mandated, with periodic medical checks required. Professional drivers face stricter medical criteria, and the regulations also address drug use and medication effects on driving ability.
