When a commercial driver turns 65 in Ontario, medical reports are due how often?

1. Monthly

2. Bi-annually

3. Annually

4. Every 5 years

The correct answer is: Annually

When a commercial driver in Ontario turns 65, medical reports are required to be submitted annually. This regulation is in place to ensure that all drivers maintain their physical and mental fitness to operate commercial vehicles as they age. Regular medical assessments help to identify any potential health issues that could affect driving ability, ensuring safety on the roads for everyone. The requirement for annual updates reflects the understanding that health can change more rapidly in older adults, necessitating more frequent evaluations. Other intervals, such as bi-annually or every five years, do not provide the same level of oversight that annual assessments do, particularly for commercial drivers who have a critical responsibility to ensure safety in their operations.
