Every year, a significant number of road accidents occur due to a variety of factors, one of them being older drivers grappling with diminishing physical and cognitive abilities. While we respect and value our senior citizens, we believe there is a need for measures to ensure their safety and that of others on the roads. Therefore, we propose a bill requiring all persons aged 65 and above to undergo periodic retesting for their driver's licenses.

This not only ensures that our elder drivers can safely operate a vehicle, but also greatly reduces the risk of accidents. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of being injured or killed in a motor vehicle crash increases as people age. Implementing a requirement for driving retests can significantly lower this risk and potentially save countless lives.

We cannot wait for more lives to be lost before we take decisive action. We must prioritize safety and awareness on our roads to protect all drivers, pedestrian, and cyclists alike. Please join us in supporting this cause and let's push for safer roads for everyone, regardless of age. Sign this petition to help make this important change happen.
