California DMV Eliminates Knowledge Test Requirement for Drivers 70 and Older
In a significant change for older drivers, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced that drivers aged 70 and older are no longer required to take a knowledge test to renew their licenses. This new policy was introduced on Monday, Sept. 30.
Previously, drivers 70 and older had to take a knowledge test when renewing their licenses after expiration, though this was a DMV policy, not a law. According to DMV Director Steve Gordon, the change is aimed at improving customer service.
