The purpose of this bill is to provide a procedure in which a driver may be required to be reexamined for purposes of maintaining his or her driving privileges after a police officer, upon reasonable grounds, determines that a driver, as the result of an accident or by otherwise committing a driving violation, has exhibited negligence or inadequate driving skill. To this end, the bill requires that every accident report include a check-off square for an officer to mark when the officer believes a driver should be reexamined. The bill includes provisions respecting a driver's right to due process in the event a police officer opines that the driver needs to be reexamined.

Providing for reexamination of drivers holding valid drivers licenses who are observed by police officers violating traffic laws or who appear to have caused accidents as the result of negligence or inadequate driving skill
