Florida Law Urges Tougher Driver License Checks
Colonel H N Kirkman orders an all out statewide August drive on license checks with local law enforcement aid. He notes Florida has more registered vehicles than licensed drivers and cites safety as the aim. Hundreds of legally blind residents still drive, and renewed reexamination programs are lacking. Florida requires tests for new residents but renewals lax with the two year cycle. The patrol may recheck vision only via referrals or suspected driving ability concerns.
