Why is a medical certificate needed where only the replacement of the driving licence takes place?

When replacing or restoring a driving licence issued by the competent subdivision, it is not mandatory to present the medical certificate of the vehicle driver and of the candidate for obtaining the right to drive vehicles (Form no. 083/e) referred to in point 22 subpoint 5) of the Regulation on the examination procedure for obtaining the right to drive vehicles and on the issuance and validity of the driving licence, approved by Government Decision no. 181/2022, which certifies the state of health and the physical qualities and aptitudes required of a vehicle driver, provided that the validity period of the driving licence issued falls within the limits of the validity period of the driving licence previously issued in that person’s name”.
