Need
a brush up?
Every senior should be looking
at sharpening their driving as the years move on.
Driving
is a privilege that can be taken away and often is. In the
early senior years, once a year, two hours should be enough
to maintain good driving habits if you have good habits.
As the years roll on, the need to brush up will increase.
DO
NOT GO IN TO A DRIVE TEST AT THE DMV without A SERIOUS BRUSH
UP YOU COULD LOSE YOUR DRIVING PRIVILEGE. Do not wait until
an accident, or ticket, or health problem to address your
driving. That can be to late to avoid major problems.
Brushing
up and keeping your driving in tip top shape is the best
way to retain and protect your driving future and YOUR OWN
SAFETY.
Revoked
driving privilege
Many Seniors get their driving privilege revoked simply
because they go in to a requested drive test not having
brushed up. They confuse their driving for years, with what
the DMV is looking for. The DMV has a new test you may never
have taken or seen. If you do not know what they are looking
for, how are you going to pass? Often seniors resent having
to pay for lessons in driving, since they feel they are
not needed.
DO
NOT EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR FREEDOM IT CAN BE TAKEN FROM YOU.
If you
lose your driving privilege you will need to have a hearing,
you may want also to have legal representation. If all goes
well you will be given an S. I. P. (Special Instruction
Permit) This will allow you to drive and train only with
an instructor, in most cases, until you are ready to pass
the drive test. If all goes well and you pass the test,
your license is reinstated. From revocation to relicense
you are talking three months at best and easily six months.
Most
seniors need at least 12-30 hours of retraining some less,
some more. You are talking about years of ingrained habits
that have to be changed. In most cases we can regain driving
skill and get your driving privilege restored, given the
realistic time and work required.
