The European Union wants elderly people (70+) to undergo medical tests from now on to prove that they are still capable of driving a car every five years. However, the proposal has been met with a lot of criticism.

    Not in the UK myself, but I am not opposed to this. I think it was last year that I heard about someone who was unable to see people 20+ feet in front of him and how he either killed a person. Link

    I would hope that this gets adopted anywhere in the world for those who experience what happens with age + those who have severe vision problems to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
