Summary
The 90-day period for DMV restrictions typically starts from the incident date. To appeal, wait for the written notice and follow its instructions. The DMV may reject a medical conclusion if it doesnt meet their standards or if they have additional concerns. Once you receive the notice, file a Request for Hearing with supporting medical documentation and evidence. Include a personal statement detailing the incident and your argument. Consult NAC 483.370(b) for specific regulations.Full Conversation
In Nevada. A medical incident occured in the past 3 years, last month. The patient reported to DMV, and filed a specialist medical report saying fit to drive. The DMV rejected the conclusion of the report, and seeks to impose the 90 days anyway. Under NAC *.*(b) the regulation allows for that exception through medical clearance. At what point does the 90 day clock start (i.e., since the incident itself?) and what do I need to do to get an appeal since I haven't received written notice yet? Also the specialist has refused to issue a new letter or contact the DMV.
