FMCSA to Verify Med Cards During Inspections
posted in Alerts by Brian Gray
The FMCSA has announced that it will begin validating drivers’ medical cards during “enforcement activities” such as roadside inspections. This will involve contacting the certifying medical examiner to verify a driver’s name and date of birth and the card’s date of issuance and any restrictions it indicates. The agency says the intent of the verification is to ensure that information on the certificate is accurate and not to evaluate drivers medically. Its goal with the new inspection point, FMCSA says, is to weed out fraudulent medical cards and to “keep medically unqualified drivers off our nation’s highways,” the announcement says.
