Once you start pulling social security or reach the age of 70, you should be required to retake an updated drivers test.
I would agree older drives could be poor drivers, but linking it to SS is not the solution. If you look at traffic accidents during a year you are not going to find that most are from seniors.

So agree seniors are not the ones cutting people off, speeding etc,
Pulling SS cards might not be the answer but I’d like to see the 65-70 age group retake the written and physical driving test. I’m speaking from personal experience living near St. Michaels, Maryland with a high retirement population, I’ve been involved in two accidents this past year with negligent driving from the other driver and they’ve both been 85+. The last one, we were parked. Definitely open to other ideas and solutions to this.
