Calls grow for older drivers to retake tests at 60 to enhance road safety

express.co.uk

A new proposal suggests that drivers over 60 should retake their driving tests to improve road safety. Currently, drivers only need to apply for a new license at age 70 without a formal exam. The petition, created by Megan Spear, aims to gather 10,000 signatures for a government response. If it reaches 100,000 signatures, it could be debated in Parliament. Public opinion on this issue is mixed. While some polls show support for retesting at age 70, others indicate that a majority oppose additional checks for elderly drivers.
