Livermore gym crash: Only one state law requirement for elderly drivers In California there is only one age-specific law geared toward senior drivers and that is a requirement to get a license renewal in person after age 70, rather than by mail. The DMV fields driver's license re-examination requests that are sent in by doctors, police, family members and other people, but again, these are not age specific. The DMV can put restrictions on licenses, such as prohibiting night driving, but those are not age specific. During those in-person visits, the older driver must take a written and vision test, however a driving test is only administered if the employee determines it is needed based on the visit.
