After months of complaints, the DMV has dumped the knowledge test and online training course for most drivers 70 and older who are renewing their licenses.
The long statewide nightmare has ended. After months of irritating technical glitches, confusing options and maddeningly irrelevant test questions, most California drivers 70 and older who apply to renew their driver's license will no longer be required to take a knowledge test or the online training course. On the whole, this is good news.
The eLearning course, which I took when I renewed two months ago, is an animated 45-minute rules-of-the-road program that has the advantage of being fail-proof. A narrator leads you through several segments of instruction, each of which is followed by a quiz. If you get an answer wrong, you can guess again until you get it right. But I still heard from a lot of readers who, like me, struggled to figure out how to access the program.
