Why and how does the examination proceed in Westland?
In Westland, the CBR requires a medical examination in case of doubt about driving fitness (Driving Fitness Regulation), particularly relevant for agricultural entrepreneurs with diabetes, heart failure or sleep apnea due to long working days on the road. You complete a Health Declaration via CBR.nl, followed by an appointment with a recognised examining physician in the region, such as in 's-Gravenzande or Naaldwijk.
Practical information for Westlanders
- Costs: €40-€100 per examination, sometimes reimbursed via local health insurers.
- Required: medication list, specialist letters from Westlands Ziekenhuis or GP practices in Poeldijk.
- Result: approved, conditional or revoked, with impact on transport work in the greenhouse horticulture.
Preparation: do not abruptly stop medications that affect driving ability and collect dossiers from local specialists. In case of rejection in Westland, you can request a second opinion from a nearby CBR physician or lodge an appeal with the District Court of The Hague. Re-examinations are periodic for chronic conditions, common among greenhouse workers. Failure leads to suspension of the driving licence, which hinders logistics in Westland. Comply with CBR guidelines on aids for adapted vehicles, such as for disabled transport in the polder. This process ensures road safety on Westland roads and protects your rights as a driver.
