5 MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT CAN GET YOUR LICENSE SUSPENDED IN NEVADA
The Nevada DMV may suspend or restrict the driving privileges of people with medical conditions that impede their ability to drive. Five of these conditions include:
1. Blindness or other vision impairment,
2. Deafness or other hearing impairment,
3. Inability to reach the gas and brake pedals without assistance,
4. Diabetes, or
5. Epilepsy
Depending on the seriousness of these conditions, the DMV will take one of the following three measures:
1. If a doctor or family member of the person has voiced doubts to the DMV about the person's ability to drive, the DMV may request that the person take a driving, written, and/or vision test. Depending on the results, the DMV may suspend or restrict the person's license and require annual re-examinations.
2. If the medical condition causes the person to lose consciousness, the DMV will probably request that the driver surrender his/her license for 3 months. Afterward, the DMV should re-issue the person's license (with or without restrictions) if the person can produce a doctor's certification that he/she can drive.
3. If the person's doctor believes that the person is unfit to drive, the DMV may suspend or revoke the license immediately pending any subsequent medical clearance.
Nevadans who get their driver's license suspended have the right to contest it at a DMV hearing. It is an administrative proceeding similar to a small-scale trial, where the driver's attorney can present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
