Retake your Driving Test once you turn 70

The Issue

Retaking your driving test at 70 shows an important issue regarding age and mobility. As the population ages, it's crucial for the government to consider how to support older drivers in maintaining their independence while ensuring road safety. This includes advocating for more accessible driving assessment programs that provides more support to the needs of elders  as well as promoting education on safe driving practices made for older adults.

As people age they experience decline in cognitive functions such as memory attention span and reaction time, this can can affect their driving skills. They also experience things like reduced vision hearing loss which can make them react slower when on the road. This factors are important in ensuring safety therefore we should promote a test and potential restrictions to elderly people once they turn 70.
