- mental/emotional problems;
- depression;
- excess drinking/drugs;
- fits/dizziness/blackouts;
- head injuries

2. If the applicant gives an affirmative reply to one or more of these questions his/her doctor should be contacted or the applicant must provide a statement from the doctor to determine whether the applicant is fit to be issued with a licence.
