Re: Not going to happen
> re-testing everybody over the age of 60 on a yearly basis
I do agree with the idea, but am very afraid of the execution: I fear it will be a bureaucratic nightmare where you lose your time and money for no real benefit.
I'd argue more for a yearly medical test. Is your eyesight still good enough? Reflexes? Cognitive capacities? Any medical condition or treatment which could interfere? After all those are the real dangers, not that you'd suddenly unlearn 44+ years of driving.
Besides, older people are usually sensible: At some point my father stopped driving after dark and making trips longer than to the supermarket, all on his own. Now there are certainly those who aren't sensible, but I'm not sure that testing would stop them from driving.
