I wouldn't mind an annual driving test for ALL drivers! From what I see on the roads, in parking lots, etc. drivers of all ages aren't paying attention to what they are doing, are driving too fast for conditions, following other vehicles too closely etc., etc., etc.! The issues with road safety are not limited to the elderly for sure.report abusebrian34

I personally think there should be a manditory yearly driving examination after the age of, say, 70 or 75 for every driver. People ignore the fact that eyesight and reaction time among other things decrease significantly with age. Heaven forbid this poor old guy is starting the early stages of dementia and is still driving.report abuse
