Ensuring Road Safety for All: Mandated Driver's Test for Seniors Aged 65 and Older

Promoting the Health and Welfare of All Road Users: This policy advocates for the implementation of a physical retake of the driver’s test for individuals aged 65 and older. As people age, they may experience physical changes such as deteriorating vision, slower reaction times, and memory impairments, which can significantly impact their ability to drive safely. A physical retake of the driving test ensures that older drivers are fully capable of operating a vehicle, not just through knowledge of the rules, but by demonstrating their ability to handle real-world driving conditions. This initiative aims to enhance road safety, reduce accidents, and protect both older drivers and younger drivers on the road.
