  • Blood Pressure & Heart Disease: Unmonitored hypertension (≥180/110 mmHg), a recent heart event, stroke, uncontrolled angina, or an implanted defibrillator lacking approval.
  • Diabetes: Unmanaged diabetes with recurrent episodes of low blood sugar or complications (neuropathy, visual issues) hindering safe driving.
