For example, what is seen is not comprehended. This can lead to serious accidents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cognitive Processing &#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong>Inability to remember the destination. Inattentive to external stimuli such as pedestrians or oncoming traffic. Judgment is slow or poor in traffic situations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strength and Coordination &#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong>Muscle control is weak and reflexes are too slow to react appropriately to traffic situations or hazards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The cognitive and physical abilities of drivers who have been diagnosed with moderate or severe dementia will have deteriorated to such an extent that driving would be unsafe, and their driving privilege will be revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dmv-spacer-block spacer-box\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I get a driver&#8217;s&nbsp;license&nbsp;(DL) if I have dementia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drivers who have been diagnosed with dementia must attend a reexamination and&nbsp;must take a driver safety knowledge test.&nbsp;If the driver passes the test, then they&nbsp; may be asked to take a special driving Test&nbsp;or a Supplemental Driver Performance Evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the driving test is satisfactory, DMV will schedule a reexamination within 6-12 months to reassess the progression of dementia. This is because mild dementia can rapidly progress to moderate or severe, even if the driver is not aware of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the driver\u2019s faculties are significantly impaired, or if they are significantly mentally and physically incapacitated, DMV may take action such as revoking a DL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"accordion-block js-accordion-block\" id=\"acc-reexamination\">\n\t<button class=\"accordion-block__header\" type=\"button\">\n\t\tReexamination\n\t\t<span class=\"accordion-block__icon\">\n\t\t\t\n\t<svg class=\"icon icon-plus\" height=\"14\" width=\"14\" aria-hidden=\"false\" aria-labelledby=\"title-expand-accordion-plus-63539\" role=\"img\">\n\t\t<title id=\"title-expand-accordion-plus-63539\">Expand Accordion Plus<\/title>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/wp-content\/themes\/dmv\/dist\/svg\/svg-sprite.svg?ver=1775060513#icon-plus\"><\/use>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<svg class=\"icon icon-minus\" height=\"2\" width=\"14\" aria-hidden=\"false\" aria-labelledby=\"title-collapse-accordion-minus-90901\" role=\"img\">\n\t\t<title id=\"title-collapse-accordion-minus-90901\">Collapse Accordion Minus<\/title>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/wp-content\/themes\/dmv\/dist\/svg\/svg-sprite.svg?ver=1775060513#icon-minus\"><\/use>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/button>\n\t<div class=\"accordion-block__content\">\n\t\t\n\n<p>Reexamination is only appropriate for drivers whose dementia is diagnosed as mild and who have not had action taken against their driving privilege.
