I understand that to qualify for a driver’s licence, drivers:

  • Must not suffer from any mental, emotional, nervous or physical disability that significantly interferes with the driver’s ability to safely drive an automobile of the class they are licensed for;
  • Must not be addicted to alcohol or a drug to the extent that it significantly interferes with the driver’s ability to safely drive an automobile; and
  • Must notify the Ministry of Transportation immediately if the driver becomes physically or mentally disabled to the extent that it might interfere with the driver’s ability to safely drive an automobile.

To the best of my knowledge:

  • All listed drivers are qualified and hold a driver’s licence , and
  • The information I have provided is correct.

Inspection:

My Insurer may require my automobile to be inspected. If I do not co-operate with any reasonable arrangements to inspect my automobile, I understand my optional loss or damage coverages may be cancelled, and any claims filed under those coverages may be denied.
