Medical Considerations

North Dakota's Department of Transportation (NDDOT) applies strict scrutiny on all driver license applicants, especially those with medical histories.

Seizures

NDDOT generally will not issue a license to you if your medical lowdown is rife with documented seizures, blackouts, fainting, epileptic fits or any other occurrence resulting in suspended consciousness. However, NDDOT officials will regard your application if, before applying, you've been seizure-free for six months and are open to submitting to a medical examination.

Sight

Your eyes must flash 20/40 vision without the aid of glasses to qualify for an unrestricted license. If your collected vision for both eyes, with or without glasses, is 20/50 or worse you'll need to swing by a vision specialist's office. He or she then may recommend driving restrictions, or corrective measures in the form of better glasses, additional outside mirrors, or even eye surgery. Once your vision's corrected, return to a driver's license site to retake your test.

Hearing

North Dakota does not impose driving restrictions on deaf drivers.

Aging

North Dakota is one of 15 states in the country to be free of senior citizen driving restrictions.

Reporting Incompetent Drivers

If the dangerous actions of a driver hackle your suspicions that he or she is either too old to be navigating a vehicle or, for whatever reason, is too incompetent to drive, you should call NDDOT at (701) 328-2725. Generally, authorities will accept calls from law enforcement authorities, family members, hospitals, and family physicians. They will not act, however, upon anonymous tips.
