Because of their symptoms, which diseases carry a greater risk of an accident and, in fact, in many cases prevent a person from obtaining a professional driver's license?

Correct answer: Neurological and mental diseases.

Neurological illnesses, such as epilepsy, and mental illnesses, such as depression, pose the greatest accident risk. They can cause sudden episodes, disorientation, or unpredictable behavior, so they often prevent you from obtaining a professional driver’s license, such as one for a truck or bus.
