Referring an Unsafe Driver to DMV

Mobility is central to independence and the preservation of one’s dignity. At some point it may be necessary for relatives, friends, law enforcement or social service providers to report an unsafe driver to DMV. The Driver Evaluation Request form (# 6066) can be downloaded from DMV’s website or obtained from a local field office. You can request that your name be kept confidentia; however, the form requires your name, address and an original signature.

When filling out the form, be as thorough as possible. Describe any medical conditions that interfere with driving, as well as any unsafe driving behaviors that you have observed. If possible, recount how driving ability has declined over time or as a medical condition has progressed.

Based on the information provided, DMV may require the person to get a current medical exam or the driver may be contacted for re-testing. Depending on test results, DMV will determine whether or not the person may continue to drive (with or without restrictions) or whether the person should stop driving.
