If I'm not mistaken, I believe CA has more stringent rules for elderly drivers on the books. I'd have to look it up. I believe my mom (who's in her 70's) may be required to take a behind the wheel test shortly. (I think she told me that) I just haven't researched the issue. The main problem is that the DMV employees don't enforce anything. I've seen them give people the pamphlet and written test and just let them look up the answers. I daresay there is more of a problem here with people who have no license or insurance and who never properly learned to drive than we have with elderly people. I think the standards and requirements should be strengthened across the board. Driving is a privilege not a right. But, that's just me.
