{"text":"When did the medical certification start? I can't find it because when I look it up I'm swamped with articles and posts from terrorized people. It kinda reminds me of the Donald Duck cartoon about nazism where the sick little boy can't go to school anymore or be with his parents because he isn't perfect. I'm not in love with the idea of carrying something like a swatizka in my pocket, saying I'm a fit human specimen. it violates my federal government rights. I dont like fearing having cerebral palsy and being a driver, wondering if I'll end up in prison because one day they decide they didnt like my not needing exemption.

{"replyTo":"","text":"Yes early 90’s was the start of the medical card. Varied by state I believe. Then about 2012 they started with a new medical certification attached to your cdl (drivers were passing out behind the wheel from various reasons) drivers reportedly were receiving bogus certifications and now all Doctors must be nationally registered to approve cdl medical certificates for every driver.","replyToPid":0}
