Respiratory and sleep-related conditions such as COPD, asthma, sleep apnoea, and narcolepsy can have an impact on driving by affecting breathing efficiency, energy levels, and daytime alertness. In some cases, these conditions may increase the likelihood of fatigue or reduced concentration while driving.

In line with RSA guidance, certain untreated sleep conditions or severe respiratory issues may need to be declared to the NDLS, and individuals may be advised not to drive until their condition is appropriately controlled.

At Atlantic Driving Assessments, we focus on how your condition affects your ability to drive in real-life situations, considering factors such as concentration, awareness, responsiveness, and overall driving performance. This process can help support a safe and appropriate return to driving where suitable.
