Why you may need a driver's re-exam

Some of the most common reasons for a driver's re-exam are:

• A doctor reports a medical condition that may affect your fitness or ability to drive safely.
• Results of a previous re-exam suggest follow-up testing is necessary.
• A crash report, police report or other report indicates you may be unable or unsure how to handle a common driving situation.
• Your licence has expired for more than three years.

Commercial drivers

Commercial vehicle drivers also take re-exams to make sure they drive well enough for the type of vehicle they operate.
