All drivers that turn 60 years old need to be asked to retake their writing and driving test again.

Both, my mother and best friend were in car accidents, that left their vehicles totaled. The drivers of the opposing parties were over the age of 62 and stated that they didn't realize the light was red. The drivers ran straight through the intersection. Many older drivers haven't had a refresher course sine they obtained their license at the age of 16. Per the Nationa Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as of 2013 there were 36.8 million drivers age 65 and older. A total amount of 5,671 of people 65 or older were killed and 222,000 were injured in traffic crashes. In 2013 drivers age 65 and older accounted for 17% of all traffics fatalities. The truth is that anyone can be a victim, but a requiring to once again take both tests can help the increase in senior caused fatalities.
