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.

    Good. Old people will tolerate a terrifying number of medical problems before going to a doctor

      My father has heart + breathing problems causing him to randomly get dizzy+out of breath whilst sitting down doing nothing. We’ve told him he shouldn’t be driving but he says he knows what he’s doing as he’s been driving for over 60yrs. We reported him to the DVLA because he’s going to kill someone.
