Would you mind going through the process you experienced?

We're going back 15 years now but this is what I recall: made an appointment with a local rehab facility. They did an initial evaluation by testing my eyesight, balance, etc., which was my first visit. Then I had to do some driving with their car with hand controls, which was the second visit. I did quite well so they asked me if I'd like to schedule more practice visits or the driving test at the DMV. I opted to do the DMV test. They met me at DMV on the scheduled appointment date, I passed, got my new license with the restrictions and that was it. Total cost was a little less than $1,000, which I paid out of pocket.

If you ask me there are dozens of people, officialdom, buildings, regulations, and systems that are all there to waste as much time and money as possible.

So i was supposed to meet with my new Physician today after my old one flew the coup but apparantly shes on maternity leave and wont be back till january. So now the story is that my old physician cant sign the papers because shes not qualified to do the examination to sign the papers. Apparantly the dmv provides theyre own physician to do the exam but i call bs on this. I am going to call dmv tommorow to find out for certain. I looked at the papers today and it says the papers are to by signed by YOUR personal care proffessional whether its a P.A,APRN or Licensed Physician.

I made one call to the licensing center, told them who I was. Told them my situation. They asked me one question:
Q. Are you able to drive safely?
A. Yes. With adapted vehicle/hand controls etc.
Reply: We made a note on your record. Thank you. Goodbye.
