A South Australian deputy coroner is recommending mandatory medical assessments for learner drivers following a triple-fatality road accident. The recommendation stems from concerns about the fitness of new drivers and potential undiagnosed medical conditions impacting their ability to operate a vehicle safely. The coroner’s inquest examined the circumstances surrounding the crash, which involved a learner driver. Currently, South Australia does not require a medical certificate for learner drivers, unlike some other states. The proposed change aims to identify and address potential health risks before a provisional license is granted. Authorities are now considering the recommendation and its potential implementation to improve road safety for all users.
