The process by which the DMV conducts its investigation is known as the “Re-Examination” process.
If the DMV receives information from any source that a person may no longer qualify to operate motor vehicles, the department is empowered to conduct an investigation to determine if there is cause to remove that person from the road. Once the DMV issues a driver license, the agency then is also empowered to continually monitor and review all drivers to ensure they maintain the skill, the knowledge, and the physical/mental fitness to drive.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is the State Agency empowered by the California State Legislature to issue driver licenses to those people who qualify to operate motor vehicles in the state.
