Memory part…
Are you saying that it was the written part of the driving test you did poorly, also known as the Permit Test? Or is there some other memory test that I am not aware of? My license was revoked 3 months after I came down with CIDP, as it was up for renewal & I couldn’t walk, nor did I have any use of my hands. That was in Nov of 2002. In order to get it back again in Feb of 2004, I had to retake the permit test as well as the driving test (with a letter from my neuro stating he thought I could drive again.) BTW I live in MN.
I knew I could pass the permit test, as I had taught driver’s ed before I got sick, so I knew the book backwards & forwards. I was worried about the actual driving test as I wear AFOs & have partially numb feet. Luckily I knew the two routes really well that they use from taking my students through it. But has your license actually been revoked or expired? Because if it hasn’t, I would suggest having someone take you on some dirt roads & make the determination youself if you can actually still drive safely. It might be better not to go through the route of the DMV at all.
