I was wondering in some states (I am domiciled in Texas), can you still get the special driver’s license (higher than a standard class c driver’s license) if it is required to drive that motorhome ( Class B for single vehicle GVWR > 26,000 or vehicle GVWR > 26,000 towing a trailer or another vehicle with GVWR < 10,000 or Class A for GCWR > 26,000 if towed trailer or vehicle GVWR > 10,000, usually a big travel trailer or fifth wheel) strictly for private use and not for any commercial or business purposes if you take the knowledge, vision, and driving test for that driver license and passed them with flying colors, but you failed your DOT medical exam because the only reason is blood pressure is well over 140/90? My blood pressure usually runs very high (I am also very overweight also and it is very hard to drop the pounds and have a family history of hypertension). Millions of people in the United States with high blood pressure legally drive their cars or personal vehicles and I never could understand how high blood pressure, in and itself, can make the roads any less safe. Not to mention, FAA requires blood pressure to be under 155/95 for a commercial airline pilot’s license (confused why DOT rules are tighter on blood pressure).
