Same here in Georgia. Went to renew my A permit last Monday, 30th, the day they started that mess of all days, and was told I had to have a current medical card to renew my license (which was where I was going next). So I have to go get my medical card then come back and renew my license. I do not have to retake the tests though. Test scores in Georgia are good for two years btw.

I went in on Friday, and they said it will take about 2 years to get it all in place as licenses expire and such. By then, I have to have another card. -
I guess they want it like car insurance. When they run your license it will show up you are current on your DOT card.
Like you said, it will take a couple years for everyone to get in the system. After that, no more fake cards! (not me but I know some people that made there own because they could not pass the medical exam) -
I watched the clerk post the information.
The first time the doctors number was posted it bounced back out. It had to be entered again. Seems there must be a way they can confirm the number now as well. -
So I wonder how that works as far as letting the DMV know you renewed your medical card? I can only get a one year card (high bp) but licenses are good for longer than that. I guess I will have to go to the DMV once a year right after I leave the doctors office and update my information?
I am reading here in a past issue of Land Line "Truckers are required to present their certificates to the agencies (DMV?) upon each certificate renewal". Sounds like I will be making an additional trip every year! -
Get in, shut up, and drive! Does it need to be more complicated than that? What would we do without the gooberment...
