Until which age can a driver submit a medical report every five years?
- After the age of 64
- Before the age of 46 ✓
- Between the ages of 46 and 64
- None of the above
Answer: B. Before the age of 46
The five-year medical report cycle applies to drivers under the age of 46.
Why this is the answer
The truck handbook says commercial drivers must pass a medical examination every one to five years, depending on age. It sets the five-year report interval for drivers under 46. Once a driver is 46 to 64, the report is due every three years, and at 65 or older it is due every year. So the age cutoff for submitting a report every five years is being under 46.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. After the age of 64 — Drivers aged 65 or older must submit a medical report every year, so the five-year cycle does not apply after 64.
- C. Between the ages of 46 and 64 — Drivers aged 46 to 64 must submit a medical report every three years, not every five years.
- D. None of the above — None of the above is wrong because the handbook does set a five-year reporting cycle for drivers under 46.
Remember it
Picture the report form getting more frequent as the driver gets older: the first change happens at 46.
