Licence downgrade set aside; single vasovagal episode did not warrant commercial driving restriction.
The appellant appealed a decision by the Minister of Transportation to downgrade his commercial driver's licence following a reported episode of syncope or loss of consciousness.
The appellant provided medical evidence showing normal test results and explained the episode was a vasovagal event caused by fatigue, lack of food, and stress.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the appellant had corrected his lifestyle habits, had no further episodes, and did not suffer from a condition likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely.
The Minister's decision was set aside.
