Concerning expiration dates, we recently moved here. My husband is over 80 and his is 6 years. I'm under 70 and mine is 9 years. I don't know if this is the norm, or just for new residents in Lake County.
The problem is, there was only an eye test. No proficiency test at all.
Unfortunately, the proficiency of many seniors gradually deteriorates, without them noticing all that much. Unless a law enforcement sees this or an accident occurs, this continues because many seniors live alone without someone advising them that it's time to stop driving.
Maybe the best thing to do would be what was mentioned earlier, get their tag number and report them. Hopefully then someone from the Sherriff's Department would follow up in a compassionate way.
