I watched that motorway cops thing last night and it had loads of dash cam footage, some of the driving/ accidents were unbelievable ! Half of them just didn’t look,no observation skills at all,including a driver who pulled out of a junction straight into a massive red fire engine with the lights a sirens on, I mean how can you miss that? Some of the bikers didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory either, just not riding defensively enough, including one guy who crashed into the back of a slow moving car on the motorway, landed on the boot lid and then the car just drove off again with him hanging on the back
I would happily take a regular test even at 70 I wonder how many drivers there are that don't declare medical conditions out there
I have an IPAF licence both boom and scissor lifts I have to take a mandatory test every 5 years,a much more simple vehicle to operate. I honestly don’t understand the logic whereby you can potentially drive until you die for 50 plus years.

such a difficult one, but of course you are right overall. I'm going to sit on the fence and suggest a general cognitive test be compulsory and a slightly watered-down version of the current driving test at age "X", but just as i type this, I know it will never work or become a reality. I wonder if there are statistics for fatalities due to elderly drivers, I can think of around 3 crashes locally over the years where (an "elderly") driver had suffered something rendering them unable to stop their vehicle, but no-one hurt (apart from driver of course).
As maybe but some things need to be revised with regard to the regulations currently in place. I wouldn’t mind being tested TBH 70 is about my threshold for driving in any case.
Ah I know it’ll never become a reality Chris, I’m not blind to the realities and the resistance to such an entitlement as some see it. However it is a revocable licence and not a right as some see it. There are bound to be stats somewhere on accidents from an actuary, but they might be so low as a result of those around them able to avoid their transgressions.
There is a guy opposite me who can't get in and out of his car very well he must be late 60's early 70's My daughter had the joy of following him to work the other day at 10mph it's only up the road and all the way. He wears shoes that are broken down at the heel he is doubled over too.
From personal experience, i know I couldn't be the one to say "you can't drive any more" to a loved one, but clearly sometimes, this is the only correct course of action. Can't speak for women but often driving/cars is the last thing that a chap looks forward to or enjoys before the final whistle blows.
For some ‘older’ folk especially those living in rural parts of the country it’s a lifeline and can come as a huge blow both physically and mentally the day their licence is revoked. My mum, bless her, gave up driving in her 60’s she was never a real fan unlike me As some Americans say ‘not from my cold dead hands’
you make an interesting comparison although opening another Pandora's - I wonder how they go about governing firearms licenses linked to age.. prob varies state-to-state but as you hint at (Charlton) possibly not at all in some places.
