A recent survey shows over two-thirds of UK motorists support new regulations for elderly drivers, including mandatory eyesight tests and practical driving retests. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) emphasizes the need for regular assessments due to the impact of aging on driving abilities.
While many older drivers are deemed safe, concerns about slower reaction times and other age-related issues have led to calls for change. Some seniors argue that such measures are discriminatory, suggesting that retesting should apply to all drivers, not just the elderly.
