Driving & Driving Test Tips: Road Traffic Rule for Driving Age Upper Limit.


Question
Dear Mark

Do yo feel there should be a Road Traffic Rule for Driving Age Upper Limit i.e. Old people who are above 65 and Above should not be allowed to drive private and self owned vehicles ?.

Do you feel because of old age eyesight, the chances of accidents happening might be more o the road and because of this Road Traffic Office should come out with this rule of prohibiting them to drive vehicles on the road ?.  

Awaiting your reply,

Thanks & Regards,

Answer
Not an upper limit to then take away their driving privilege, but an age where they should be tested more frequently to make sure they still have the skills to drive either at night or in daylight.  I had an uncle who was a great drier until his 98th birthday.
