some oap.s havent sat a test for the best part of 45 years, and boy look how the roads have changed

And they will have been driving throughout the changes and adapting with them, it means nothing.

The statistics on accidents by age do not take the number of drivers of those ages into consideration, going by numbers alone, the 40 - 59 age group have most accidents.

70 isn't a magic age at which possible inability to drive suddenly rears it's head, if there is going to be a system for determining if a person is fit to drive, it should start younger than that.

My father died at the wheel aged 59.
