re: At what age should people have to start retaking driving tests?

Written test for everyone every 6 months with two sections. Driving in left lane and driving with hazards on.

First off, it should be much, MUCH harder at 16. Like in another stratosphere harder.

Then an easier refresher with eye test every 5 years starting at 60.


ETA:

And underage kids can't vote against this

It would lower insurance rates and make roads safer.

Renew drivers license every 3 years with a short video test on a computer and an eye test.

Re-take driving test every 6 years no matter your age, not some bullshite drive around the parking lot make a u-turn bullshite either. Have to get on and off a controlled access hwy, park in a parking lot and parallel park.....

If you fail either one take a 2-3 hour class on how to drive and re-take the test.

15-17 - every 9 months (4 times total)
18-20 - yearly (3 times total)
21-25 - every other year (2 times total)
26-69 - renew every 4 years
70-74 - every other year (2 times total)
75-79 yearly ( 4 times total)
80+ - every 6 months

Lol. Ridiculous.

Lol. Yearly check up at age 70 to see if your mental faculties have diminished to the point of making you a hazard on the road is "ridiculous"? Gonna have to disagree with you there, chap.

I say 65 and every 5 years after that.

I think it should be based on number of tickets and number of wrecks.

They should just monitor all cars. Habitual speeders lose their license.

LOL, my Dad renewed earlier this year at age 86 with only the eye test.

His next renewal, age 92, can be by mail/internet for a license good till he's 98.

Should be harder to get one to begin with.
