Losing a license doesn't always mean driving is over: Appeals, medical evaluations, retesting, or restricted driving privileges may still be options.
Memory problems can make giving up the keys much harder: Doctors and driving specialists can help determine when it's no longer safe to drive.
Have a transportation plan ready: Rideshare, senior transportation, family rides, and delivery services can help an aging parent maintain their independence.
My dad recently failed a driving test and lost his driver's license. It made me realize how little guidance there is for what happens after an older adult is told they can't drive anymore.
Losing a license isn't simply about losing a car, or a truck in my dads case. It can affect grocery shopping, medical appointments, friendships, and perhaps most importantly, a person's independence.
Sometimes the decision isn't necessarily permanent. Depending on why the license was suspended or revoked, an older driver may be able to challenge the decision, provide medical evidence, retest, or qualify for restrictions.
Other times, particularly when dementia or significant memory problems are involved, the family may need to help someone stop driving permanently.
Here's where to start.
Find out exactly why the license was taken away
Don't assume failing a test automatically means someone will never drive again.
Rules vary by state, so start by reading every document the DMV provides. Find out whether the license was restricted, suspended, or revoked. And exactly why.
In California, for example, the DMV can require a driver to be evaluated if there are concerns about their physical or mental condition or deteriorating driving skills. The DMV officially calls this process a "reexamination," and it can include a medical evaluation, vision and knowledge tests, and a behind-the-wheel driving test.
Possible outcomes aren't always simply "drive" or "don't drive." California can impose restrictions such as requiring corrective lenses, prohibiting nighttime driving, or limiting where someone can drive.
What to do: Ask the DMV specifically what would have to happen for driving privileges to be restored or restricted rather than revoked.
Don't miss your chance to challenge the decision
If you believe the DMV got it wrong, don't wait to investigate your options.
