Rubicon,
I think the classes are private, under contract to DMV. I lived in Maryland for some years and returned there to finish out my working years. Maryland computerized their system a while back, and they have no record of previous license holders beyond about fifteen years. I said I was a former resident and license holder. They couldn't find me on their data base. I guess they thought I was lying until I produced an old expired state license.
That got me my license in a hurry. Good service too.
Fiji,
I'm well aware of your point. At some point you simply have to stop driving, no two ways about it, but should you be subjected to a test far more difficult than normal? That reeks of discrimination to me. Also, most people are retired at 67. Should the government be allowed to charge you well over $400. for this service, if the vast majority are going to fail it? In Canada we take pride in a sense of fair play, but in this instance it seems lacking. If a person can't prove their fitness then revoke the license. There's no other choice, but don't under any condition stack the deck. Best wishes.
