PURPOSE
To document the license renewal experiences of Florida drivers ages 80 and older who must pass a visual acuity test when renewing their driver's license.
METHODS
Study participants (n = 1,242 drivers) were contacted via telephone and completed a survey regarding their experiences with the license renewal process.
RESULTS
The majority (80.2%) of those eligible for license renewal reportedly attempted to do so and 88.0% succeeded the first time they tried. A large percentage of drivers (88%) who failed the vision test said they sought treatment, and 77.6% of drivers who reattempted renewal reportedly passed the test. About half of drivers who did not seek renewal said they thought they would fail the vision test. The majority of those choosing not to renew their license (99.5%) reported using transportation alternatives.
CONCLUSIONS
This study suggests that the Florida vision screening re-licensure law is not a deterrent to seeking license renewal for the > or = 80-year-old population. Furthermore, only a small percentage of Florida drivers ages > or = 80 years and older reported that they failed the visual acuity screening test and were denied license renewal.
目的
记录佛罗里达州80岁及以上司机在更新驾照时必须通过视力测试的续证经历。
方法
通过电话联系研究参与者（n = 1242名司机），并完成一份关于他们续证过程经历的调查。
结果
据报道，有资格续证的大多数人（80.2%）尝试续证，其中88.0%在首次尝试时成功。视力测试未通过的司机中，很大一部分（88%）表示他们寻求了治疗，据报道，重新尝试续证的司机中有77.6%通过了测试。未寻求续证的司机中约有一半表示他们认为自己会在视力测试中失败。大多数选择不续证的人（99.5%）报告说他们使用了其他交通方式。
结论
本研究表明，佛罗里达州的视力筛查重新颁发驾照法不会阻碍80岁及以上人群寻求续证。此外，佛罗里达州80岁及以上的司机中只有一小部分报告说他们视力筛查测试未通过并被拒绝续证。
