## Resource

California DMV just sent 11,000 drivers a shocking notice: retake your written test or lose your license. The agency claims “irregularities” were found in tests taken between July 2025 and April 2026, sparking confusion and panic. One Sacramento driver, David Specht, insists he didn’t cheat—and says most others likely didn’t either. The DMV remains vague, offering no clear explanation. Now, thousands are scrambling to book appointments—no walk-ins allowed—to avoid losing their licenses over a test they already passed.
