A person's fitness to drive can be affected by a medical condition, by temporary illness and by the environment in which they work, drive and live. Health impairments - including stress, sleep disturbance, migraine, flu, severe colds and hayfever - can lead to unsafe driving, as can the treatment for these conditions.rnDriving, if not properly managed, may lead to a deterioration in health or aggravate a pre-existing condition (for example, low back pain). Relevant health issues should always be considered in driving risk assessments carried out for 'at-work' drivers. However, few workers enjoy perfect health so a sense of proportion needs to be maintained and unfair discrimination avoided.
