What's even funnier is our book says they must take an exam every couple years to prove they can drive and they're able to skip this with a mail in license renewal! WTF?

That is the same here, every 3 years my dad has to go 'online' and complete a form. He gets really ratty because he starts it, discovers her has to get another bit of information, wanders off to look for it, gets distracted, makes a cup of tea, finds it, goes back to the computer to find he has been 'timed out' and so has to start again.

I wonder about those who are not computer literate.
One of our customers is 94. I asked her this week how was she and did she see her sister (96) in Cornwall for Christmas (normally a 4 to 5 hour drive). Her answer was it she doesn't drive down there any more but just goes to her friend in a convent in Portsmouth (one hour away on the motorway). Her legs are giving up on her now and don't do what she wants sometimes so needs a stick to walk, in case they give out.
I watched her go out to her car (parked illegally in the loading bay) and timed her get in and settled behind the wheel for a full 10 minutes, then she drove out into the traffic .....so slowly....but she did all the correct actions mirror, signal, manouver before she pulled away.
94!!
