When appointing a driver, look for his medical fitness. Commercial vehicle driver should be completely medically fit as he they risk multiple lives while driving.
Patients suffering from diabetes on insulin should not be allowed to drive commercial vehicle. People who snore in the night should have a medical fitness before they can become commercial drivers.
People who snore and have more than five episodes of stopped breathing per hour of sleep are four times more likely to get road accident. People with 15 or more episodes of stopped breathing per hour of sleep are seven times more likely to get road accidents. People with uncontrolled blood pressure, preexisting heart diseases, visions disturbances and dementia should not drive commercial vehicles.
