The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence due to his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

The Registrar relied on medical reports from the appellant's family doctor and a nurse practitioner indicating worsening gait and coordination, and recommending a functional driving assessment.

The appellant argued his condition was stable following Deep Brain Stimulation treatment and did not interfere with his driving.

The Tribunal applied the CCMTA Medical Standards for Drivers and found that, absent a functional assessment confirming his ability to drive safely, the Registrar established that the medical condition was likely to significantly interfere with his driving.

The appeal was dismissed and the licence suspension was confirmed.
