bellajulz Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Anybody here ever go through a California DMV license review? I went to the ER and doc there reported me to DMV because I had fainted the day before. My regular docs are aware that I drive, and monitor me closely. Still, I am concerned about the review process. I've had pots for 8 years now and have never had an incident with driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahA33 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi, there, I believe every state has a period of time that is recommended to refrain from driving after syncope, I've seen some states recommend 3 months and others up to 1 year depending on if you have a medical condition or if the event was unexplained. I'd suggest reaching out to your doctors, and if they feel you are able to drive safely, write a letter stating this and submit to the DMV, or maybe they'll need to fill out a form? Have you ever fainted while in a seated position? This was from the CA DMV site, https://govt.westlaw.com/calregs/Browse/Home/California/CaliforniaCodeofRegulations?guid=I32A84770D46811DE8879F88E8B0DAAAE&originationContext=documenttoc&transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellajulz Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks for the reply, yes it's typically 90 days after an episode. Im going Wednesday to to cardio in hopes he will fill out paperwork in my favor. Thansk for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
