Under What Circumstances Must a Driver's License Be Retaken?

[DiCody]

Drivers may be required to retake their driving test if they unintentionally violate traffic laws while driving. The following are specific situations that necessitate retaking the driving test: 1. Driving a vehicle type beyond the permitted scope; illegally operating a school bus; obscuring, altering, or failing to display license plates; speeding more than 50% over the limit; reversing or driving the wrong way on a highway; fatigued driving; drunk driving; hit-and-run incidents. 2. If a driver's license is revoked due to drunk driving, the driver cannot reapply for a license within five years; if the drunk driving involved a commercial vehicle, the driver cannot reapply for a license within ten years. 3. In cases of a serious hit-and-run traffic accident that constitutes a crime, resulting in the revocation of the driver's license, the driver will be permanently barred from obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license.
