NEGLIGENT OPERATOR Proceedings — Vehicle Code section 12810 — Can cause [a] your driving privilege to be suspended or restricted and/or[b] for the DMV to place you on Probation, which would mean that any traffic ticket or accident after being placed on probation could be a basis of suspending or restricting your driving privilege.
If you have either [a] 4-points in a 12-month period, [b] 6-points in a 24-month period or [c] 8-points in a 36 month period on your DMV record, the DMV will deem you a “Negligent Operator”. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO HEARING to contest that determination.
There are many ways to contest and win these proceedings, including getting 1 or more of your previous convictions set aside.
MATURE, ELDERLY or INFIRM DRIVERS are subject to “Re-Examination” to determine if you can safely operate a motor vehicle pursuant to Vehicle Code sections 12804.8, 12804.9, 12805, 12806 and 12809. Your vision, medical condition(s), knowledge of the driving law and ability to safely operate a motor vehicle can be tested by the DMV.
There are many things that you can do to be able to keep your driving privilege. We can work with your doctor(s), if necessary, with driver’s training programs and assist you to keep [or get back] your driving privilege.
