When performing a risk assessment of a driver’s current medical treatment, the medical examiner must determine if the treatment taken is:
  1. Qualifying, because it controls the physical and/or mental conditions.
  2. Qualifying, because it controls the physical and/or mental conditions and allows the driver to operate the vehicle more safely than without treatment.
  3. Qualifying, because the side effects, even if medically optimal, interfere with safe driving.
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - Qualifying, because it controls the physical and/or mental conditions and allows the driver to operate the vehicle more safely than without treatment.

During safety risk assessment of any medication, the medical examiner must evaluate the risks of driving while taking a medication and its side effects compared to the risks of driving while not taking the medication. B is wrong because it assumes that driving while taking medications is safe. C is a wrong answer because any side effects that interfere with safe driving are disqualifying conditions.
