DMV and Senior Driving |

What is a restricted driver license?
The driving examiner goes through your vision test results and considers your physical and mental state before applying a restriction to your license. In some cases, information volunteered by your friends and family about any disabilities you may have might also result in a restricted driver's license.
How does the DMV impose legal changes in your driving license?
The Department of Motor Vehicles or DMV understands that for most senior drivers, driving is more about retaining their independence and passion, so you can expect a fair judgment. Some of the methods adopted by the DMV to reach its verdict are:
- Letters from family members stating you might not be fit to drive long hours.
- Seeking information from your physician about your health to identify that you do not possess any physical problems that could put you and others at risk on the roads, if you are behind the wheel.
- The emergency staff member that helped you in the clinic due to a certain loss of consciousness might also get in touch with the DMV.
- A law enforcement officer that you might have encountered on your way home can report you to the DMV about your driving ability
- Going through your Driving License record.
What sorts of decisions can the DMV take after re-examination?
a. No Action: You are completely fit to drive wherever you want to at whatever hour and place.
b. Medical Probation I: You have to follow your medical regimen strictly and report any change in your medical agenda to the DMV personnel.
c. Medical Probation II: Your physician will be submitting periodic reports and developments to the DMV
d. Limited Term License: You are given a two-year license, which has to be renewed and revalidated after that tenure.
e. Calender Re-examination: You are requested to appear before the DMV at specified intervals and dates and also have to submit your latest clinical reports.
f. Restriction: You are allowed to drive only under certain specific conditions like: restricted hours, restricted places, and using specialized gears for your vehicle.
g. Suspension: You are suspended from driving for an indefinite period.
h. Revocation: Your driving license is terminated.
Can a driving license be re-instated once the DMV terminates it?
The DMV can reinstate your driving license and remove suspension/revocation if additional information is supported by you or your physician to them, stating that you have improved on your physical and mental abilities.
