I've been cruising the California Department of Motor Vehicles, Vehicle Code, Licensing & Registration bits, trying to find where they justify the suspension.
The ONLY part I can find that mentions medical issues being a reason to deny/suspend/revoke a license is if:
12806 (c) Who has a disorder characterized by lapses of consciousness or who has experienced, within the last three years, either a lapse of consciousness or an episode of marked confusion caused by any condition which may bring about recurrent lapses, or who has any physical or mental disability, disease, or disorder which could affect the safe operation of a motor vehicle unless the Department has medical information that indicates the person may safely operate a motor vehicle.
I haven't had a relapse, I've NEVER had a relapse, and the only time I've EVER lost consciousness was the DKA Coma that let us know I was Diabetic to begin with.
That was over TEN YEARS AGO.
Since that point, I have already proven once that I was physically/mentally fit to drive - proven by the fact that they suspended my CDL once they learned I was Diabetic, and made me bring in a Doctor's note claiming that, in the Doc's opinion, I was ok to drive.
It took six months, but I managed to prove to my (then) Doc that I was healthy, and I've proven myself to be safe by the fact that, in those 10+ years on the road SINCE my diagnosis of being Diabetic, I have not had ANY moving violations, accidents, not even a ticket that has stayed on my record.
So NOW I get to b!-slap the DMV with "If I've had a nearly flawless record during the entire time I've been Diabetic, what makes you SUDDENLY concerned that I MIGHT be unsafe? Because if you're basing that opinion on anything other than my record, you've got some explaining to a JUDGE to do."
I am NOT taking this BS laying down.
