    In the US, it seems supporting policies that make the elderly retake the driving exam is complete political suicide. There is a good reason for it and it would keep people safe, but there’s no chance of it happening while the population that mostly votes is old.

      Im not sure how true that is, at least FL requires you to renew your license more frequently as you get older. Idk if its just a vision test though.

        I may be biased from seeing what I see in my state, lol. Families have to beg them to stop driving after they crash into a building, no political will exists to change things. There’s more states than I thought that require additional driving exams, at least in certain circumstances.
