Every Senior has different abilities regardless of age, so each renewal is treated individually. A multiple-choice written test is given to ensure understanding of current laws, and a vision test will also be administered. If the driver has difficulty passing the written test or the vision test reveals some concerns, DMV may then require a special driving test. American Driving School is licensed to provide a professional review and preparation for Seniors to take a DMV Driving Test.

American Driving School is authorized by DMV to provide evaluations and brush-up driver training for Seniors with a Special Instruction Permit. Whenever a driver has inadequate vision test results or has difficulty passing a written test after several attempts, the DMV does not automatically revoke the driver's license.
