When can the commissioner of motor vehicles require a driver to submit to a reexamination?

The commissioner of motor vehicles has the authority to require a driver to submit to a reexamination if there is good cause to believe that the operator is incompetent. This determination might arise from various factors such as erratic driving behavior, health issues that may impair driving ability, or other indicators that suggest the driver's capability to operate a vehicle safely is in question. The goal of such reexaminations is to ensure public safety by assessing the driver's skills and knowledge of traffic laws to prevent potential accidents caused by incompetent driving.

Other circumstances, like receiving a speeding ticket or being involved in a serious accident, may warrant attention but do not automatically establish grounds for a reexamination. Age alone can also lead to concerns about driving competence, yet it does not provide sufficient cause for reexamination unless correlated with observed deficiencies in driving performance.
