operate a motor vehicle safely (see IVC Sections 6-900 through 911).  Upon

receipt of a written request citing good cause, the Department shall require a

driver to submit to driver's license re-testing.  All written requests shall be

the third given date before the Department will cancel the driver's license or

appear on any of the three designated dates but prior to the final day of the

10-day grace period and provides a statement on official letterhead, signed by
