GB News: Elderly drivers risk being in trouble with DVLA and ‘legally unable to drive’ in fresh blow to millions
Support is growing in the UK for stricter regulations on elderly drivers, with many advocating for annual driving tests and medical checks for those over 70. A report indicates that one in four motorists knows an older driver unfit to drive, raising concerns about road safety.
Currently, drivers over 70 renew their licenses every three years through a self-assessment, which critics argue is inadequate. Increased crashes linked to poor vision have prompted calls for more rigorous assessments, similar to those in several European countries.

He compared Khamenei to "a modern Hitler" and emphasized that Iran's ambitions pose risks not only to Israel but also to the United States.
Netanyahu dismissed diplomatic overtures from Iran as insincere and reiterated Israel's commitment to countering Iran's nuclear ambitions. He framed Israel's actions as essential for international security, warning that the threats posed by Iran could soon extend to America.
