What are the Most Common Restrictions or Probation Requirements that are Imposed on an Elderly Drivers License?
The number one restriction for a senior driver involves wearing glasses or contact lenses. Most other restrictions are imposed in connection with declining physical conditions. The most common include (but are by no means limited to): • limitations on where you may or may not drive (no freeway driving, for example) • limitations on when you drive (for example, driving only during daytime hours or not driving during rush hour traffic) • equipping your car with specific devices (extra large mirrors or hand pedals, for example) • complying with a specific medical regimen and reporting any changes in your condition to the DMV • authorizing your doctor to submit annual medical reports to the DMV.
