- Meet physical qualifications for safe CMV operation.
Possible Medical Certification Restrictions
- Regular neurologist follow-ups

Non-compliance = disqualification. State laws may impose additional requirements (special licenses, seizure-detection devices). Consult your CME and state DMV for current rules.
