[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, if your parent holds a Va DL, [b]you can submit an anonymous request for a medical review. While you wait, the license is suspended.

Let me know if you want more details or info. Did this for my late mom.[/quote]

This doesn't seem accurate to me. That means anyone can call DMV and report someone, saying they need a "medical review" and their license is automatically suspended?

I think someone (maybe you, PP) are on drugs that impair your ability to drive. I can call up DMV and tell them to suspend your license?[/quote]

I don't know whether a stranger can call, but a doctor certainly can.  And I actually think the way the statute is worded is that if DMV "becomes aware" of various problems with a person's ability to drive, it triggers a need for a medical review.[/quote]

Hello - PP quoted and no, I’m not on drugs but thank you for your concern.

Read this:

Medical Review Services (MRS) is a team at DMV headquarters that reviews all cases where Virginia drivers may have a medical or visual condition that may impair driving ability, even temporarily. These conditions may include:

Level of consciousness
Seizures
Vision changes
Impairment of judgment or
Loss of motor functions
When the DMV learns that a Virginia resident has one of these conditions, the MRS Team will contact the customer to request information on their current medical state. This often requires the customer to schedule an appointment with their medical provider(s), where they will submit DMV-approved forms on the customers behalf. customers can typically satisfy MRS requirements with a primary care provider, but please check with your provider to be sure. Once the documentation arrives at DMV, our team of clinically trained nurses will use policies established in consultation with the Governor-appointed Medical Advisory Board combined with their clinical experience to reach a decision on the ability of the customer to safely operate a motor vehicle.[/quote]
