The guidelines to renew a driver's license are the same for all ages. Drivers have to pass two tests. One tests knowledge of 12 traffic signs by color, shape and meaning. Drivers must get nine out of 12 correct. There's also a vision test, requirements vary depending on if the driver wears glasses or contacts.
