Driver's Licence renewal

[pollon]

Hallo, I've had my California DL for over 10 years, I renewed it a couple of times through mail, but this last time they required me to go to DMV for renewal after ir expired last may 2008.
I live in Italy and I couldn't renew it at the DMV, but I'm going back to california soon.
Does anyone know if I have to redo the test all over again, since it expired, or will they just renew it?
thanks in advance

From the CA DMV Web site:

How to renew your driver license in person

If your license has expired, it is illegal for you to drive. There are no late fees to renew your license. While there are no penalties, you may be cited by a police officer for driving with an expired driver license. If you are a commercial driver and your license has been expired over two years, you will need to also take a driving test in the type of commercial vehicle you will be driving.
