[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. She is 79 has no violations on her record. She had a single car accident last week, but she was not hurt.  Yesterday she received a letter from the DMV that she was to surrender her license "for medical reasons" which we thought was strange as she did not have a medical incidence (she's not frail, and is very active). The police were called to the scene because a neighbor saw the accident happen and thought she might need help.  My sister took her to the ER just to make sure she was okay, all tests were done including bloodwork and labs and she got a clean bill of health and was released.

We think it must be the MoCo police who started the ball rolling with getting her license suspended, not sure. According to her paperwork she has to get a physical and eye exam but not sure what else. They also didn't indicate how long her license would be suspended.

She's not happy about it but is also not putting up a fight -she's a rule follower. [/quote]

Your reflexes change as you age. One of my close friends heard from family mom was in an accident and it was the other driver's fault. Took the insurance investigation for her to find out in reality it was mom's fault-she was lying. The officer or whoever did the right thing. She should be evaluated before getting her license back. One of my doctors had a serious accident with an 80 year old woman with a perfect record. Things decline fast. The woman was 100% at fault.[/quote]

She has no issue with being evaluated. And perhaps the officer did do the right thing, we'll see.  I'm not trying to debate that and did not even indicate that I was debating it. I was simply asking what the process was to surrender. [/quote]
