Summary

The purpose of this bill is to provide a procedure in which a driver may be required to be reexamined for purposes of maintaining his or her driving privileges after a police officer, upon reasonable grounds, determines that a driver, as the result of an accident or by otherwise committing a driving violation, has exhibited negligence or inadequate driving skill. To this end, the bill requires that every accident report include a check-off square for an officer to mark when the officer believes a driver should be reexamined. The bill includes provisions respecting a driver's right to due process in the event a police officer opines that the driver needs to be reexamined.
