If your family member’s driving ability appears to be impaired due to age, disability or other health problems, please consider requesting a WV DMV Medical Review on their behalf.
When drivers are reported, the DMV will review all information recieved. The driver may be required to see a licensed physician or optometrist for a check-up or take the road skills test to demonstrate their ability to drive safely. As well, periodic medical and/or visual examinations and/or driver re-examination may be required of drivers who have been evaluated and deemed “at risk” by the DMV. All cases are reviewed on an individual basis to determine the appropriate course of action.
Anyone can report concerns about an unsafe driver but it will NOT be anonymous. A DMV employee, a physician, a caretaker or a member of their immediate family. If a law enforcement officers encounters and personally observes a potentially indafe driver, they must report it to the DMV. Immediate family members include a:
- Spouse
- Sibling
- Parent
- Son or Daughter
- Caretaker
- One who has been appointed as power of attorney. They must supply our office with the proper documentation.
