To the editor: I am 78 years old and think we oldsters should be required to take actual behind-the-wheel tests to retain our licenses.ĭiscrimination is sometimes appropriate. I was pleasantly surprised to discover at my in-person visit that this series of quizzes counted as my written knowledge exam, and all that was needed to complete my application was a digital thumb print, new photo and signature. Each chapter is followed by a short “quiz.” You can complete this course as slowly or quickly as you choose. There is a short review course available on the DMV website consisting of seven short “chapters” covering practical topics like right-of-way rules, road signs and DUI laws. Filling out the application and paying fees can be done online in minutes.

Appointments are available, and making one saves a lot of time and aggravation. To the editor: Not to contradict concerns about ageism at the DMV, but I would like make some comments based on my recent experience renewing my license at age 77.Īn in-person visit to the DMV need not be the nightmare we all remember.
