A 3-minute lesson from the Michigan course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
A reexamination is a meeting where the state reviews whether you should keep driving as-is. It can be triggered by health, a bad record or crashes, and it can end in restrictions, a suspension or a revocation.
Know the rule
The Secretary of State may reexamine you for health reasons, violating license restrictions, crash involvement or an unsatisfactory driving record.
A reexamination reviews your driving, sets licensing controls to reduce your risk and encourages improvement. Controls may include restrictions, suspensions, revocations or a combination.
A driver analyst reviews your record and discusses your driving with you. If your license is restricted, suspended or revoked, you're told your appeal rights and how to reinstate.
A 16-year-old Level 2 driver gets two tickets in one year. She's far below 12 points, but as a GDL driver she may still be called to a reexamination after only one or two violations.
