It’s time to have mandatory retesting over the age of 60. Too many wreckless seniors on the roads who are unaware of their surroundings.
Driving is a privilege and not a right and it is high time to start takeing lisences away…
It’s not always the driver. So many pedestrians jump out in a crosswalk with out looking.
This is true, the issue is double sided enough without people adding in different problems. I see no reason why retesting shouldn’t become mandatory after a certain age (or other complications that may affect driving) but it’s not necessarily the issue here.
