Honestly,
I believe, that if you are over the age of 60, or have poor vision. You should have to be tested often to see if you have the ability to drive. With age and illness, eyes start to ware down. I believe that, knowing this, they should be tested at least twice a year.

I have no opinion.

I don't really care.
Drunk people drive fine, though. I dunno about elderly.

As long as they're free and they can do it until they fail the test 4 times in a row.

I agree, but most elderly driver's would end up being home bound. That's scary, so places with a high number of elderly people, vote against mandatory age related driving tests.

A lot of places to this already, and I think it's a good idea.
To be honest though I find most of the trouble drivers I see are not elderly, they are just stupid fucks.
