<p>Several years before my mom passed, she had a minor accident in a
parking lot. Circumstances dictated that she shouldn't be driving
any more (she was 89 at the time). We took the keys to her car. A
"friend" at church told her how to get new keys made and she
resumed driving. As soon as we found out about it, we took the car
and sold it (my middle sister had power of attorney so it was
legal). Problem solved.</p>

known a few guys that have gone for years without a
license. They don't make older drivers take a test here
anymore but at one time they required both a written test
and an in car driving test for older drivers. Many could
not pass the testing (or just feared they couldn't) and
just let it expire but kept driving. As long as they had
the skills they never got stopped. Once they got stopped
the police watched for them to be out. There was a lot of
looking the other way unless they seemed dangerous.</p>

In NY at least you don't need a license for any farm
equipment as long <br>
as it has the SMV sign on it. Just like the Amish don't
have drivers <br>
licenses to operate their buggies because they are exempt.<br>
