LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — With COVID-19 surging across California, the DMV has suspended behind-the-wheel drive tests for two weeks and are now offering online renewals for senior drivers.

The California DMV announced Thursday that it would suspend all behind-the-wheel drive tests, starting Monday, Dec. 14. Those who had already scheduled an appointment for a test will be notified and rescheduled for a later date.

Another change the DMV implemented this week was to begin offering drivers 70 years or older the option to renew their noncommercial driver’s license online. Licenses that expired March 1 or later and REAL IDs are eligible for renewal. The DMV will make a mail-in option available in the coming weeks.
