STATE LAWS ON REEXAMINING DRIVERS

THE UNIFORM VEHICLE CODE REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES TO REEXAMINE ALL PERSONS APPLYING FOR A LICENSE RENEWAL. THE EXAMINATION MUST INCLUDE A TEST OF EYESIGHT AND KNOWLEDGE OF TRAFFIC LAWS. ADDITIONALLY, THE DEPARTMENT IS GIVEN DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE ANY APPLICANT TO TAKE AND PASS OTHER TESTS DEEMED BY THE DEPARTMENT TO BE REASONABLY NECESSARY TO DETERMINE THE APPLICANT'S QUALIFICATIONS ACCORDING TO THE CLASS OF LICENSE FOR WHICH APPLICATION HAS BEEN MADE. SUCH TESTS MAY ALSO INCLUDE ANY OR ALL OF THE TESTS REQUIRED OR AUTHORIZED FOR AN ORIGINAL LICENSE APPLICANT. STATE STATUTES IN THE CONTEXT OF COMPARABLE PROVISIONS IN THE UNIFORM VEHICLE CODE ARE REVIEWED. /HSL/
