Require the Elderly to retake the Driver's Test

Created by T.A. on March 04, 2014

We the people of the United States feel our safety is in question regarding certain elderly driver's who continue to renew their license without their driving abilities being questioned. It is a proven fact that many people have slower reaction times the older they get, with the slope widening per year at higher ages.

My suggestion is that once a person turns 68 years old, the next time they need their licence renewed, they must pass the driver's test again, and everytime after that once their license expires again. I also suggest to decrease the time their license expires as at higher ages, reaction time is slowed even more.

This is a matter of human safety, how important is human safety to the American citizens?
