What kind of challenges do drivers over the age of 65 face when renewing their licenses ? Readers respond.

To the editor: Kudos to Steve Lopez for his article regarding the driving tests at the DMV. I took the test last March to renew my driver's license. I failed it and had to take it again six weeks later and passed. I am 93 three years old and have taken that test routinely since 1957, when I moved to California. Why I should have to take it again I'll never know.

When he switched to writing about old people, I was upset and wrote to him asking him not to do it. I thought his columns would be really boring. I don't know how old I was then, but I'm 91 now so I was old by his standards. I gave up reading him for a while and then drifted back. By the time he started writing about the DMV, I had gone through lots of those tests. Then in April my daughter had to take her first test.
