Jeffrey L. McWaters (Republican \u2013 Virginia Beach), would have made the following changes to the renewal process for senior drivers in Virginia:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lowered the age at which drivers are required to appear before the DMV for renewal from 80 to 75<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">licenses issued to persons 75 or older would be valid for no more than 5 years (as opposed to the current 8 year requirement)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">provided a \u201cmature driver vehicle crash prevention course\u201d that judges could send older drivers following a traffic related court appearance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">allowed individuals who report poor driving by the elderly to the DMV to remain anonymous (currently only relatives of the person or a treating medical professional can report and remain anonymous)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bill was the result of a year-long study by the Virginia DMV to determine if the licensing renewal procedures for older citizens should be amended. The DMV committee who studied the issue recommend many of the provisions contained in SB 180. Despite the recommendations from the DMV, the bill failed by the closest possible margin, 19 votes for versus 19 votes against , with Lt. Governor Ralph Northam (Democrat) casting the deciding vote in its defeat. The debate on the bill was spirited with Sen. Dick Saslaw (Democrat \u2013 Fairfax), who is 73 years old, declaring, \u201cAll you whippersnappers in here who vote for this bill, your time is coming!\u201d Even the bill\u2019s propoent Senator McWaters\u2019 85 year old mother opposed its passage.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">A House version of the bill has faced much less opposition. House Bill 771, introduced by Timothy D. Hugo (Republican \u2013 Fairfax \/ Prince William) passed the House with a vote of 90-Yes, 7-Nay on January 31, 2014. It faces an uncertain future in the Senate who referred the matter to the Committee on Transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Virginia is not alone in having specific licensing requirements for older drivers. 33 states and the District of Columbia have special provisions for \u201cmature\u201d drivers including accelerated renewal frequency, restrictions of online renewals, and vision \/ road tests.
