Seniors: Will You Have to Retake Your Driving Test This Year? What You Should Know About DMV Rules

Shorter Renewal Cycles: More Frequent Check-Ins

Another common change for older drivers is a shorter renewal period.

Instead of renewing every 8 or 10 years, you may be required to renew more frequently—sometimes every 2 to 5 years depending on your age and location.

This doesn’t mean you’re at risk of losing your license. It simply allows the state to check in more often and confirm that you still meet the requirements for safe driving.

    I am 84 tears old and up to 3 years ago I drove a school bus with a perfect record. This is a rotten joke that our so called politicians are pulling to try and get more money from people who don’t have any to start with. I could still teach some of them a few things about safe driving. Why don’t they do something useful like passing a law to stop senior citizens from paying school taxes. Come on seniors lets get on the band wagon & get our elected officials to stop this senior rip off .

    Not a bad idea to try to keep the roads safe, BUT, this is a form of age discrimination. There are seniors in good physical and cognitive shape, while there are younger drivers who are not. Thus, the requirement should be for all drivers not just those determined by age.
