Whenever Service Oklahoma is furnished with information or, from

the records on file in Service Oklahoma, it is established that the

holder of a driver license is afflicted with a physical disease with

a history of seizures, or mental disease, or momentary lapses of

consciousness or any other ailment which may result in temporary

loss of control or partial control of a motor vehicle, Service

Oklahoma may, in its discretion, execute an order of cancellation of

any driver license issued to such individual, or, should such

information be available at the time of application for a driver

license, Service Oklahoma may execute an order denying the issuance

of said license to any such individual and shall cause any such

license that may have been issued to be picked up or to be delivered

to Service Oklahoma as specified for other such orders. Every

physician or surgeon, including doctors of medicine and osteopathy,

examining, attending or treating an individual for any illness or

injury that would impair the ability of the individual in any manner

as to affect the performance of the person to operate a motor

vehicle, may make a written report of the diagnosis to Service

Oklahoma. Service Oklahoma may, in its discretion, suspend or

cancel the license of such person for such period of time as in its

judgment is justified.

In addition thereto, any person or physician or any medical

personnel participating in good faith and without negligence or

malicious intent in making of a report pursuant to this act shall

have the immunity from civil liability that might otherwise be

incurred or imposed. Any such participant shall have the same

immunity with respect to participation in any judicial proceeding

resulting from such report.

Provided further that, in any proceeding resulting from a report

made pursuant to this act or in any proceeding where such a report

or any contents thereof are sought to be introduced in evidence,

such report or contents or any other fact or facts related thereto,

or the condition of the individual who is the subject of the report

shall only be admitted in evidence in actions regarding the

revocation, suspension, cancellation or denial of the subject's

driver's license and shall not be considered to be a public record

provided that the report shall not be excluded on the ground that

the matter is or may be the subject of a physician-patient privilege

or similar privilege or rule against disclosure.

Any person whose license has been canceled or denied under the

provisions of this section shall have the right of appeal from said

within a single lane;

2. A vehicle shall not be moved from the lane until the driver

traveled by the vehicle, of his or her intention to change lanes;

for more than two hundred (200) feet while preparing for and making

the turn. A vehicle turning left onto the roadway may utilize the

two-way left-turn lane as a staging area by stopping and waiting for

traffic proceeding in the same direction to clear before merging

into the adjacent lanes of travel. A left turn shall not be made

from any other lane where a two-way left-turn lane has been

designated. Provided, however, this section shall not prohibit

driving across a two-way left-turn lane when moving from a service

drive onto such marked roadway;

4. A vehicle shall not be driven in the left lane of a roadway

except when overtaking and passing another vehicle; provided,

however, this paragraph shall not prohibit driving in the left lane

when traffic conditions, flow or road configuration, such as the

potential of merging traffic, requires the use of the left lane to

maintain safe traffic conditions; provided further, this paragraph

shall not prohibit driving in the left lane of a roadway within the

city limits of a municipality or upon a county road as long as such

roadway is not part of the National System of Interstate and Defense

Highways or a turnpike; and

every such sign.

Any person convicted of violating any provision of this section

shall be punished as provided for in Section 17-101 of this title.

proof by evidence satisfactory to the Commissioner of a valid and

binding lease contract between the owner and a renter wherein it is

agreed between such owner and the lessee-renter that such lessee-

renter accepts responsibility for loss from any liability imposed by

law upon any person arising out of the operation, either by express

or implied permission of the lessee-renter, of any vehicle covered

by such lease in amounts not less than the minimum amounts before

that the owner has obtained such policy or policies and that the

same are in full force and effect, the judge or magistrate before

whom such action is pending shall dismiss the action as to the owner

of the motor vehicle.

F. Whenever the owner of a motor vehicle rents such vehicle

without a driver to another, it shall be unlawful for the latter to

permit any other person to operate such vehicle without the

permission of the owner.
