    If your on BP meds..There is no way..I aint sayin you don't have a 2 yr card. But your "doctor" made a mistake. If on BP meds;your card is only good for a year.

    Don't believe me? Look it up.

    thanks everybody. nobody has really answered my first question: will it hurt me in getting a job?

    i know there are moral reasons i shouldn't do it. and yes, i guess i was asking for valdation here. but something i don't get is this -- if i take the physcal and pass it and are given a 2 year card -- then i passed it.

    but the only reason i'm even considering this is worrying about getting a job.

    no? then i'm worrying for no reason?

    i was seriously afraid that if a company has to choose between me and an equally qualified newbie with a full 2 year card that they would pick him.

    Again Sir,- No. Worry more about your driving record,that could be the tie-breaker. Not your medical card.

    here's my driving record:
    5/24/10 - improper equipment speedometer (i was actually speeding 50 in a 35)
    2/13/04 - speeding - 70 in a 55
    5/14/01 - speeding - 50 in a 35
    2/06/97 - speeding - 50 in a 35
    11/22/91 - improper turn - no left turn sign.

    so nothing in the last 7 years unless that equipment violation is a red flag.
