It takes a lot to get your license revoked. I’d be surprised if this does it rather than just being a ding on his insurance rate.

My step mother is dying and the day she was diagnosed with a seizure causing condition they informed her they would call the DMV to let them know she shouldn’t be driving. I don’t know if they revoked it but they certainly implied that something was done that would cause her trouble if she got caught driving. Maybe they lied about it though, to scare her off driving, idk.

Sorry to hear about your step mom. Yeah, seizures are definitely one of the things they will immediately revoke it over because no doctor wants the liability of telling you that it’s safe for you to drive. If it’s been well controlled for x months (varies by state) usually you can get the license back.

I have a relative that’s had seizures since childhood and on the rare occasion she has a seizure, it’s always another huge stressor to lose her license for at least 6 months on top of having had a breakthrough seizure. Completely necessary obviously, where she lives just absolutely isn’t built for people who can’t drive.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
