Compulsory re-testing for older drivers

[Countryboy]

We are all different.
My dad 89 yrs no dementia drives and drives well, I happily get in the car with him.
His reactions are swift. Only the other week two children on cycles shot out from a side road right in front of him without looking or stopping, he avoided them.

However he knows I will tell him if I ever think it is time he stopped driving.

Personally I think everyone should be retested every 5 yrs and new drivers after a year.

well I think your dad is brilliant lin1 , and your obviously correct were all individuals and different its nothing to do with a person age or dementia it’s about her competence and ability , and I have no issues about being tested it’s only those that are afraid they will fail that will worry
