I tend to agree with you that if you can't pass a physical and you can't pass a skills test... you shouldn't be driving. Personally I find the rules that you guys operate under to be quite foolish. The way it is here in Nova Scotia, and has been since an eon or more... there are 8 classes of licence based on 1(semi), 2(motor coach) 3(straight truck), 4(taxi), 5(regular every day licence) 6(motor cycle) 7(learners permit) 8(farm tractor). The system is such that all professional drivers, meaning class 4 and above ~REQUIRE~ a medical upon renewal. Nominally that is every 5 years here until you reach a certain age, then thy force it more frequently... I think two years in most cases but perhaps more frequently and at discretion in some cases, particularly for the 1/2/3 classes. This class system also cascades in that the holder of a licence can operate ~any~ vehicle of a lower class status except cycles and school buses... so a person with a one can drive anything... a three can drive straight truck, taxi, personal vehicle, etc. The best part... there are NO exceptions. It doesn't matter if it's 'only farm use' and I 'only go 5 miles' or 'I've always been driving semi' They do occasionally grandfather people into the system when they make rule changes but other than that everyone must qualify...
