I’m a senior, here’s some of my problems driving: People riding bicycles in the dark at 4:30 am, no lights, no reflectors. Cars driving before dawn with their lights off. Super hyper bright headlights, they blind everything. This is safe? Red light runners. I was hit by one of these. Speeders. Cell phone users. Sudden lane changes, yep, one of these got me. This test doesn't seem to cover any of these problems.

Well yeah, none of those idiots are seniors. This test is only to pick on seniors who have been driving safely for their entire lives, not the little turds that take over streets and intersections who are all safe, experienced drivers.

I’m a senior and had to take the written test at DMV because the online test wouldn’t download to my iPad. The test had very little to do with a regular driver on the road. Most of the questions were for truck drivers or something…even the lady who gave me the test said that was stupid. Thankfully I passed, but it was close. I’ve got a perfect driving record but am treated like I’m senile or something in California. Shameful….

[@dalesupertramp9234]

i studied for month for the written test, paid even a sure test to pass, failed, because of questions (like you said) truck, kids car seat, freeways, bikes, stuff that i never have to deal with, and it is horrible, but the worse is even when i read the dmv book the questions when i took the written test on the computer at dmv i flunked because on how they asked the questions and most of all the multiple choice the wording was so different i needed a vocabulary to understand what it means, this test here and other i did today the wording was if i was in outer space and it was like "what the f..???, so i flunked, iam having my eye surgery so i can pass the eye test, but the written test on the computer threw me off, than i by passed a couple of questions thinking i can go back to it and they assumed it was a fail so i did not pass, needless to say i was angry and did not go back to try again, i never been in the snow, i do not know any thing about trucks why ask this type of question in california to sr's? child seats" give me a break!!

I'm 69 years old and I only got the railroad crossing sign question wrong. It wasn't on my written driver's test 50 years ago. Somehow I managed to avoid hitting a train or anything else.

[@brucecampbell6578]

I was the one hit by the train in some verdant terrain. It happens. The railroad companies always have the right of way. I have paid closer attention over the past 50 years to railroad crossings. I was distracted at the same time of my own crash by a local resident waving her arms feverously at me. I didn't understand what was really going on until the whistle blew, right before the the locomotive struck my WV bug on the right passenger side. Dragging me down the tracks some one hundred yards before hurtling my vehicle and I down an embankment and into a mobile home park. Where I proceeded to tear out a porch and patio of one of their residents. I almost made it across the tracks, and always have felt lucky to make it out with my life. Exactly 50 years ago.

100% at age 73. Most of these questions are common sense. A few I best-guessed as I don’t live in CA and my state doesn’t have a senior test. IMO, the real danger is from younger people who are more apt to be texting while driving an older model car not equipped with hands free technology. Those of any age lacking in driving experience can also pose a hazard.

[@optionstraderman]

I believe the answer to the Rail Road Crossing sign is incorrect in the video. THIS SIGN THAT IS SHOWN NEVER indicates the direction that the tracks cross the highway! Rail Road Signs are universal across the USA and DO NOT indicate at which angle the tracks cross the roadway. They only tell the driver that tracks are present! There are other yellow signs that may show tracks crossing at an angle, but the sign shown in the test video is definitely not designed to do that. It merely indicates that it is a Rail Road Crossing.

[@DMVChallengeHub]

Thanks for the info!

[@dalesupertramp9234]

Maybe the meaning is that a railroad track crosses ahead on the road you’re driving on? I’ve never seen a railroad sign that indicates the actual angle of the tracks in relation to the road.

[@sandovalperry2895]

The test has the wrong sign, the sign is yellow not the old fashion X crossing sign The following is from the Federal Highway Administration Section 8B.19 Skewed Crossing Sign (W10-12) Option: The Skewed Crossing (W10-12) sign (see Figure 8B-5) may be used at a skewed highway-rail grade crossing to warn drivers that the railroad tracks are not perpendicular to the highway. Guidance: If the Skewed Crossing sign is used, the symbol should show the direction of the crossing (near left to far right as shown in Figure 8B-5, or the mirror image if the track goes from far left to near right). If the Skewed Crossing sign is used where the angle of the crossing is significantly different than 45 degrees, the symbol should show the appropriate angle of the crossing.

My father was not doing well and should not have been driving due to arthritis. My sister said he was fine! One day her son and my nephew that were teens were in his car and he froze at a major intersection! A nurse behind him in traffic checked on him and had him move over and she drove him to my sister's home and her daughter drove her car. Both my nephews had permits but were so scared to drive! My father said he just froze and forgot what to do! A couple months later my mother pointed to a hotel near that same intersection and she commented that they are so nice at that place! Apparently they stayed there because they got lost! They lived 1 mile away! She never said how many nights they stayed there and to be honest I still freak out each time I think of it! A fellow employee said they worked as a front desk person at a major hotel chain and they have a whole training about seniors. They get lost locals all of the time! Being older now I realize that driving is a privilege! Thank God for home deliveries and senior ride services. It's sad when things we take for granted are now getting harder and harder! Getting old is for the birds!

[@DMVChallengeHub]

Thank you for sharing this personal story. It highlights the importance of continuously evaluating our loved ones' capabilities to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road. Aging can bring about many unforeseen challenges, and driving is certainly one of those privileges that may need to be reevaluated as time goes on. It's heartwarming to know that there are kind-hearted people like the nurse who helped your father and establishments trained to assist seniors in distress. We should all be proactive and compassionate, understanding that someday we may be in their shoes. Let's be thankful for the conveniences and services available today that can help seniors maintain their independence while prioritizing safety. 🙏🚗💕

This comes from the tyranny of a full-time California state legislature. Actuary wise, there's no solid evidence that seniors are responsible for a greater number of auto accidents than any others. I was an auto liability claims adjuster in California for close to 30 years and never experienced a disproportionate number of claims involving senior drivers. California drivers with vision impairments often have to renew their license by taking a driver's road test every two years. So, while taking that every two years special vision test you could fail that test because you did not signal or change lanes properly, which has nothing to do with your vision, and lose your driver's license.

[@brucecampbell6578]

Where we lack in eyesight and reflex our experience has reenforced with abundant caution. Also this senior is not obligated to be on the road to support the household. I was far more prone to make mistakes in my more vigorous youth. I was just sent notice of my own renewal and am about to go online to take the test and pay the required 49 dollars. It has been quite a while since requiring anything more than a fee. I am more concerned with some form of driving test or the vision test. This seems relatively painless. Thanks for your support of seniors.

Testing everyone is a waste of time. What is the point of testing someone who has driven for years without incident? Obviously they know how to drive safely. You can be a safe driver without knowing every obscure rule in the book, people have enough stress in their lives they don't the additional stress of studying the drivers manual. I would only test those who had alot of tickets/accidents and seniors showing obvious signs of dementia. Now I don't have a problem with requiring people over 75 to provide proof of a doctors visit within the last few years where they were evaluated for dementia and if the doctor thought they had dementia then they have to take the written test. If a dementia test is required then there needs to be a clear definition of what dementia is. I'm a really shy man and I'd worry that someone would think that because I didn't talk very much I must be stupid/demented but if you put a logic test in front of me I'd ace it.

You are right. Wisconsin does not require re-testing based on age alone. Drivers age 60 and over must visit a DMV every eight years to renew their driver license. DMV staff has a responsibility to determine whether the functional ability of a customer may interfere with their ability to exercise ordinary and reasonable control in the operation of a motor vehicle. If there is a concern, staff may request additional tests or obtain a medical report.

Cannot open doors if traffic is moving too close. (Child/passenger Safety) @8:15, with the Blinkers on, a camera lights up the side on the dash, and may sound an Alarm. Note: Blinkers ON. In olden days Standing on the Brake pedal stopped a vehicle, Now with ABS pumping may not stop the vehicle, and even with ABS the vehicle may not stop in the least possible space.

CA Handbook states - Buying or Selling a Vehicle: When you buy a vehicle, you have 10 days to transfer ownership to your name. When you sell a vehicle, you must notify DMV within five days by completing a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability.

[@CaliMic-c3s]

A Class C (commercial) driver's license is ONLY need IF you are transporting persons or property for hire per CA Veh C section 15210(a). A California citizen per CA Gov C section 241(a) is not a California resident per CA Veh C section 516. “Resident” means any person who manifests an intent to live or be located in this state on more than a temporary or transient basis. Presence in the state for six months or more in any 12-month period gives rise to a rebuttable presumption of residency.

[@brianusa394]

I think there are some seniors that do need recertification in order to be either a safe driver or possibly a former driver. Also when I get to that point where I can no longer be a safe driver and I don’t have the facilities to realize that there must me a path for the state to take me off the road. My father a former police officer at 80 years old told us he was going to drive anymore as he realized he wasn’t able to anymore, but I saw his friend in the same age group refuse to follow and that happens too often.

[@josephbingham1255]

I knew a 91 year old lawyer who took turns car pooling people he worked with into downtown Los Angeles. The DMV tried to take away his licence because of age - only. He took them to court and won. Now the California DMV have to judge the individual's cognitive ability instead of an arbitrary age. If your father's friends did not have the loss your father had then anyone condemning them for driving is simply uninformed or prejudice. Remember they once did not let blacks or women fly military aircraft as it was assumed such was beyond their ability.

[@JainRedmond-t9f]

It takes an aware individual to realize that their reaction time and cognitive abilities are not what they once were and personally give up driving so that they do not hurt someone. I had a neighbor who did this and was sad for his loss of freedom but he started to take the bus and adapted. Another neighbor put his foot on the gas instead of the brakes in a parking lot and smashed directly into another car, totaling both of them. If someone had been in front of him loading groceries there would have been a human tragedy.

Simple solution, since the gov thinks we the elderly are a hazzard on the road. I pose we all change our license to include motorcycle, then we can do so many fun things, make left turns from the right turn lane or make right turn flip a bitch and then another right or even make a right turn from the left turn lane. Not to even mention flying between cars going 30-70 at 80 to 100. How about fix your bikes before coming after us

Older drivers lose their eyesight (generally) which is crucial for driving safely that’s the main concern when dealing with older drivers, they may be good drivers but if they can’t see that’s a big problem.
