Voluntary Reporting
General Information
Doctors, health care professionals, family members and the police may voluntarily report an unsafe driver under DMV's non-mandatory reporting system. The report may be made based on medical condition or observed driving behaviors.
 
The voluntary reporting system can be utilized by physicians who have patients that do not yet meet the mandatory reporting threshold of severe and uncontrollable issues. It can also be utilized by medical professionals who are not required to report under the mandatory system.
 
Note:  Individual's are not immune from civil liability for reporting, or not reporting, under the non-mandatory reporting system.
 
Depending on the type of information contained in the report, DMV may immediately suspend driving privileges if the person is a risk to safety. However, a driver will normally be advised that they will be given 60 days to take and pass a vision, knowledge, and drive test. In some cases, a driver may be asked to provide current medical information.
 
Reports can be made using DMV’s Driver Evaluation Request form, or on your agency or organization letterhead. You may ask DMV to keep your name confidential.
 
For more information contact the Driver Safety Unit at (503) 945-5083.
