Urine Luck we can help you with that! Think of it like a traffic light for your health. The doc is looking at two numbers: the top one (Heart working / systolic) and the bottom one (heart resting / diastolic).

Green Light: Good to Go (2-Year Card)

• Reading: Below 140/90
• The Deal: Perfect. You pass with flying colors and get your full 2-year med card. The doc sends you on your way, and you don’t have to worry about your blood pressure for a long time.

Yellow Light: The “Heads Up” (1-Year Card)

• Reading: Between 140/90 and 159/99 (This is what they call Stage 1 hypertension)
• The Deal: You’re still good to drive, but this is a warning. The doc will give you a 1-year med card. They’re basically saying, “Hey, let’s keep an eye on this.” It’s a good time to start thinking about cutting back on the salty truck stop food and maybe walking a few extra laps around the trailer.

Orange Light: “Time to See a Doc” (3-Month Card)

• Reading: Between 160/100 and 179/109 (Stage 2)
• The Deal: This is where it gets serious. You can get a temporary 3-month med card, but only if you get on medication and bring your pressure down below 140/90. After those three months, you have to get re-checked. If you’ve got it under control, you’ll then get a 1-year card from that date. If not, you’re disqualified until you do. They don’t play around with these numbers.

Red Light: You’re Parked (Disqualified)

• Reading: 180/110 or higher (Stage 3)
• The Deal: This is a full stop. You are medically disqualified. You cannot drive until you get your blood pressure treated and lowered to 140/90 or less. It’s a major safety risk, and they won’t let you on the road.
