Correct answer: B — Remain off vocational driving pending cardiology evidence meeting Group 2 standards

Vocational driving after myocardial infarction requires assessment against Group 2 standards, including objective evidence of adequate recovery. Feeling well is not sufficient for safety-critical public transport duties. Temporary alternative work may be appropriate pending cardiology review.
