Frequently Asked Questions

  • The cost of the exam is $120.

  • The primary purpose of a driver's medical exam in Canada (often reported via a Driver's Medical Examination Report or DMER) is to ensure road safety by assessing a driver's physical and cognitive fitness to operate a vehicle safely. It helps provincial licensing authorities (e.g., RoadSafetyBC, MTO) determine if medical conditions, vision issues, or age-related factors (typically 80+) impair a person's ability to drive.
