Driving is complex. In order to maintain a license in the state of Wisconsin, a driver must be functionally able to safely operate a motor vehicle. A driver’s physical, mental and emotional health are all important factors in assessing this functional ability to drive. Health problems can affect the skill and judgment required to drive safely.
Medical conditions can cause symptoms that interfere with a person’s functional ability to drive safely. Examples of such symptoms include:
do nothing (if the Department finds that the driver poses no safety risk), ask for further medical information, conduct a “ reexamination hearing ,” or. in rare cases, immediately suspend or revoke the person’s driving privileges. The DMV must notify the impacted driver in writing of its final decision.

People in the middle to late stages of dementia should not be driving, because the danger to themselves and others is too great. It’s too easy to, for instance, lose focus and run a red light. The sad fact is that everyone with dementia will have to stop driving at some point, probably within three years, and it’s up to the people around them (including you) to determine when that point is. Consulting with the doctor or having the local Department of Motor Vehicles administer a driving test are ways to get a concrete answer, rather than leaving it up to your own feel.

The better we understand the driver’s situation, the less likely it is that we will have to ask you for clarification or additional information. 4 When reporting, please include the relevant diagnoses and a description of any symptoms that can interfere with safe driving. 5 If the driver is willing to surrender their license, that is an option that is open to them. Please see voluntary temporary surrender of a driver’s license for more information.
