The problem is that you can't control AF. Sure if you have an ablation it may eliminate the AF for some years but as we all know there is no such thing as a "Cure". I know of people with AF driving buses so surely the real question is does your AF cause incapacity and if the answer is NO then you should be OK. If yes then of course no body in their right mind would drive anything let alone an HGV. The last thing one wants is to faint whilst driving!
