QUESTION
How do I avoid my license being suspended by medical review board before I can be evaluated by doctors?
Asked on Oct 05th, 2021 on Automobile Accidents - New York
More details to this question:
I was in a single car, property damage accident on the NYS Thruway. No injuries. No medical treatment was sought. I told the NYS Trooper that I must have closed my eyes or fallen asleep at the wheel. I now have a letter from NYS DMV saying my license will be suspended on 10/16 unless my doctor(s) fill out the appropriate forms. My doctor wants to send me to specialists before signing anything. I can;t get in for appointments until after the 10/16 suspension date. What can I do?

You'll have to wait until after you get an appointment with a specialist. The DMV wants to make sure that you do not suffer from a medical condition that causes you to suddenly fall asleep (or lose consciousness) at the wheel.
