Individuals suffering from conditions such as heart disease, epilepsy, vertigo, and other illnesses that may affect normal driving behavior are ineligible to obtain a driver's license. Below are some important considerations for vehicle operation: 1. Pre-departure Inspection: Conduct a comprehensive vehicle check before each trip, including checking for oil or water leaks, measuring tire pressure to ensure it's at the appropriate level, and inspecting the engine oil for proper color and level. 2. Safe Driving Practices: Always use seat belts correctly. In the event of a severe collision, seat belts provide protection comparable to airbags. Avoid driving while fatigued; take a break every 2 hours. 3. Traffic Rule Compliance: Especially on highways, adhere to speed limits. Speeding not only risks fines from traffic police but, more importantly, compromises safety.

I remember seeing several cases where people were disqualified during the driver's license medical exam. The strictest rule applies to epilepsy patients—once diagnosed, they're immediately barred from obtaining a license, as sudden seizures while driving are extremely dangerous. Red-green color blindness is also disqualifying since affected individuals can't distinguish traffic lights. Heart conditions are assessed case by case; those with frequent angina or implanted pacemakers are definitely ineligible. Just the other day, I saw an older gentleman get turned away due to severe hypertension—the doctor said his diastolic pressure had reached 110. Diabetes can also be problematic if it frequently causes hypoglycemic blackouts. Actually, the medical form lists specific disqualifying conditions on the back, though enforcement standards may vary slightly between cities. It's most reliable to get a pre-exam at designated hospitals.

People with color vision abnormalities face restrictions when applying for a driver's license, especially those with red-green color blindness who are completely disqualified - failing to distinguish traffic light colors is too dangerous. My young neighbor failed precisely on this requirement. Additionally, those with missing thumbs on both hands cannot obtain a C1 license but may try for a specialized C5 license. Epilepsy patients are universally banned regardless of seizure frequency. For organic heart disease, it depends on cardiac function grading - level 3 or above results in disqualification. Those addicted to dependent psychotropic drugs are also ineligible, such as unrecovered drug addicts. Actually, endocrine disorders like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism are acceptable as long as they don't affect operation. It's recommended to review the medical examination standards before registration.

The eligibility depends on the severity of the heart condition. For instance, those who have undergone coronary stent placement can take the test if their condition has been stable for six months post-surgery; however, those who have had a myocardial infarction within the past six months are absolutely prohibited. Severe vertigo is also disqualifying, especially conditions like Ménière's disease that cause extreme dizziness. Individuals with a clear history of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, should exercise caution. Surprisingly, hearing impairment is acceptable as long as the individual can identify the direction of a sound source from 50 centimeters away using a tuning fork. In fact, concealing medical history during the physical exam is highly risky—last year, a local case involved a Parkinson's patient who attempted to take the test under a false identity.

Drug addicts are absolutely out of the question. Those who test positive for drugs are directly rejected, and those whose driver's licenses were revoked due to drug use cannot retake the test within three years. Organic nervous system diseases are strictly regulated; for example, patients with myasthenia gravis may even have weak legs when stepping on the brake. Missing three fingers on both hands is also unacceptable, and vehicle modifications won't pass. Active tuberculosis is a no-go, but it's allowed after being cured. Epilepsy patients are banned from taking the test even if they haven't had an episode in ten years. Diabetes requiring insulin isn't a problem, but it depends on whether there are severe complications. It's recommended to bring all medical records and consult the vehicle management office first.
