Elderly Driving Evaluations

Elderly driver passes a driving evaluation.

We can arrange driving evaluations by certified driving professionals in order to provide an accurate evaluation regarding the ability to safely drive.

Usually it is an individual’s mental and/or physical condition or his/her inability to follow traffic laws and rules, regardless of age, that determines whether DMV renews, restricts, suspends, or revokes a driving privilege.

Senior drivers who are asked to take a driving test have usually:

Not met DMV's minimum vision requirements, or
Been referred by a law enforcement officer, a physician, a relative or friend who is concerned about the way the individual is driving

Laws vary by state, but we can help start the process of evaluation.
