An application for the grant of a licence shall include a declaration by the applicant in the prescribed form stating whether that person is suffering or has at any time suffered from a relevant disability.
The Director may require a person applying for a licence to provide a medical certificate in the prescribed form showing that that person is not suffering from a relevant disability.
If it appears from the applicant's declaration or medical certificate, or if, on inquiry, the Director is satisfied from other information that the applicant is suffering from a relevant disability, the Director shall, subject to subsection (4), refuse to grant the licence.
The Director shall not, under subsection (3), refuse to grant a licence on account of a relevant disability if the applicant satisfies such conditions as may be prescribed with a view to authorising the grant of a licence to a person in whose case the disability is appropriately controlled.
Where the Director, under subsection (3) refuses to grant a licence, the applicant may, within thirty days of notification of the decision, appeal in writing to the Chief Officer responsible for the Department of Vehicle and Drivers' Licensing, who may conduct such investigation, seek such opinions and do such other things as that Chief Officer considers necessary or expedient to assist that person in arriving at a decision.
