Driving eligibility test for people aged 70 and over.
I am writing this petition to make the Government realise that people aged 70 and over need to be re-tested on their driving skills.
Many people fall victim to death each year as OAP's manage to hit into the victim. I recently read an online article (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1355502/A-real-princess-smiling-First-picture-teenage-girl-killed-pensioner-lost-control-car.html) giving details on a young female's tragedy as an OAP lost control of their car and swerved into the innocent girl, leading to her unfortunate death.
There is another petition similar to this one existing already, however, that petition is asking for a different law to this petition.
The Government should take immediate action and make sure people over the age of 70 become tested both mentally and physically regarding their eligibility to be able to drive.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
