do not apply to a passenger over one year of age when the number of passengers 
exceeds the vehicle seating capacity and all of the seat belts are in use. 
A-1.  The requirements of subsection 3-A do not apply to a driver or passenger who 
has a medical condition that, in the opinion of a physician, warrants an exemption 
from the requirements of subsection 3-A and that medical condition and opinion are 
documented by a certificate from that physician.  That certificate is valid for the 
period designated by the physician, which may not exceed one year.  The Secretary 
of State may issue a removable windshield placard that is visible to law enforcement

be displayed by hanging it from the rearview mirror so that it may be viewed from 
the front and rear of the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion.  If the vehicle is not
