That was the law in Florida in the 1960's.

I was a student at the Univ of Florida during that time and we had to go into the Dept of Motor Vehicles to be re-tested. They checked our vision, hearing, and ability to read and understand signs. If anyone seemed to be incapacitated physically or mentally, I bet they had to a drivers test as well.

We also had to have our cars inspected every year, as I recall.

Them were the 'good ole days'!
