How often must a Special Exemption (SPE) be renewed?

A Special Exemption (SPE) must be renewed every two years to ensure that the medical conditions or situations that warranted the exemption remain stable and that the individual continues to meet the necessary criteria. This renewal process helps to maintain safety on the roads by ensuring that drivers who require these exemptions are still fit to operate commercial vehicles. The two-year period allows for regular re-evaluation of a driver's health status and any changes in their medical condition that could affect their qualifications. Regular monitoring and re-evaluation are crucial in the context of commercial driving, where public safety is a priority.
