Driving re tests for 65 years and older?

[WBA123]

I agree with over 65s being retested...I know of one guy in his 80s who could barely see yet had a valid driving licence!

I also agree the under 25s should have a bit more regulation. Maybe a black box to check speed?

Totally irresponsible to drive if you know you have vision problems. At my annual eye test, I specifically ask if it's safe to continue driving. Not too much of a problem for me when I eventually stop, as there's plenty of public transport and Uber locally, but would most likely find it extremely if I lived in a rural area.

For those currently under 25, they can look forward to insurance companies insisting on a black box installation to monitor not only driving habits, but the vehicles' safety features before being able to start the engine.

I guess the whole point of this post really is about irresponsible drivers, whether you're aging and have vision problems, or your under 25 trying to impress friends by speeding.

Seems to me the one's with the highest risk are at the two ends of the age categories to drive.

The perfect sum up. Maybe 75 would make more sense.
