Amendment to my response which has been passed to CASA. I endorse the RAAUS self declared system of the car driver standard but in my submission stated “annual GP check..” but mistakenly omitted to say for those of 75 years of age and older.
Not that I really believe that such checks are necessary but most of us wouldn’t find that much of an imposition, and keeps this proposal the same as I understand presently applies to RAAUS certification which has been accepted now for several decades.
However the take up of a self declared certification regime should not include more restrictions than those operational parameters applying with the successful and proven USA BasicMed standard.
If this were adopted our system would be an advance on the USA BasicMed which was compromised at the outset by a very strong medical lobby against a more liberal self declared model.
