Learning about licensing, reporting and transportation options

  • If a drivers' licensing authority suspended your licence, you had to stop driving at that time. 
  • If a healthcare professional told you that you are no longer safe to drive, hopefully you stopped driving immediately. Continuing to drive puts yourself and others at risk.
  • In addition, most, if not all, motor vehicle insurance policies include a clause that requires you to tell your insurer that you have a medical condition, such as dementia, because it can affect your driving.
  • To get around without driving, ask your family/friend carers and doctor to help you come up with an alternative transportation plan (click here).
  • Here are some specific alternative transportation options below to consider based on where you live in Canada.
