Before a license is granted to any person, the applicant, if not previously licensed to drive a motor vehicle in this state, shall pass such examinations as to the person's qualifications as the director may prescribe. Such examinations may include an examination for visual acuity, knowledge, and road skill as prescribed by the director. All license examinations shall be conducted by department of safety personnel and shall include knowledge questions regarding distracted driving, driving under the influence, and driving during poor weather conditions. No license shall be issued until the director is satisfied that the applicant is a proper person to receive it. No physical defect of an applicant shall prohibit the applicant from receiving a license unless it can be shown by common experience that such defect results in an incapacity to safely drive a motor vehicle, except as provided in RSA 263:13.
