Has the NTSB never heard of HIPPA? I have no idea what conditions (medical or other) the NTSB has in mind, but here are a few I think they should consider:
1.Obese People-Prone to heart attacks while driving
2.Parents-Screaming children are very distracting
3.Taxpayers exhausted from working so hard to fund agencies like the NTSB
4.Drivers who can’t navigate around people panhandling in the street because the NTSB revoked their license and Social Security denied their application for benefits…
What was the NTSB thinking when they came up with this one?!
I believe that NTSB oversight would be appropriate for operators of commercial vehicles such as trains, buses, taxi’s, tractor-trailer operators, water-craft etc, just as is done now with the aviation industry.
Jane,
Let’s not forget to include all of those poor lonely souls, who can’t start a motor vehicle without immediately dialing-up on their cell phone. Matter of fact, Don and Tray may have the solution – install the chip, and we could all communicate telepathically! That would free up their phone hand, so they could drink their latte.
Yes, let’s add Cell phone callers, make-up appliers, breakfast of champions consumers, I brake for coffee spillers…
I understand Commercial Drivers are required to have a physical exam every two years. I agree with medical certification for transportation professionals. However if they don’t pass the physical exam their license isn’t renewed-they aren’t forced to disclose private medical information.
Once medical records are in the hands of the police, insurance agency and/or company, the registry of motor vehicles there is no telling where the information could turn up-including the newspaper as part of the news report on the accident. The potential for misuse of medical information disclosed on accident reports is huge.

another scam for the government to invade our privacy. Why don’t they just put chips in us like dogs and track our every move.
Don, you haven’t been chipped yet? I’ve had my chip in place for a little over 3 years. LOL!! You have a very valid point. That might be next.
