What is the consequence if a driving instructor fails to appear for a re-examination of their qualifications?

The consequence of failing to appear for a re-examination of qualifications as a driving instructor is typically a suspension of the occupational license. This means that the driving instructor will temporarily lose their ability to teach until they fulfill the requirement to re-examine and demonstrate their qualifications. This approach is designed to ensure that instructors maintain their competence and follow the necessary protocols to provide safe and effective instruction to their students.

If an instructor does not appear for the re-examination, the DMV aims to safeguard public safety by ensuring that only qualified instructors are allowed to teach driving. While revocation of the license, fines, or permanent loss of teaching privileges may be serious sanctions, the immediate consequence for not attending the scheduled re-examination is the suspension of the occupational license. This allows for the possibility of reinstatement once the instructor complies with the re-examination requirement.
