Petition Action

Mandatory driving ability test every 3-5 years for drivers over 60 years old

Petition Details

Every day without fail I have to swerve out of the way, stop etc for older drivers who are swerving between lanes, going through red lights, driving on 70mph roads going 30mph and more

Additional Information

It’s simply dangerous to have older people on the roads. Their general abilities decline as they age and operating a car proves too difficult for most.
