- New figures have revealed that the risk of older motorists being killed or seriously injured triples after the age of 75.
Data from the Department for Transport showed a sharp increase in the rate at which older car drivers were involved in serious accidents, compared with middle-aged motorists.

The main risk appears to me to be from the younger drivers. Us oldies drive safely.
As a young person, couldn't agree more
Should be from 65 years old pcv bus drivers have to have medical at 65 every year should be same for car and every driver
So all of a sudden although we’re told we are living longer and can keep working longer and so you must assume we are staying younger longer your telling us we are to old to drive in our late sixties,make your flipping minds up.
Medical test, eye test and redo driving test with hazard perception test, they ain't got a clue in 2024, driving 10mph in a 30mph zone,
All they need is a medical to make sure they are up to driving,which i think happens anyway.
I drive for a living as a bus driver at 56 I have to take a medical every 5 years CPC every year and renew driving licence every 5 years lorry driver have to do the same then take a test every 5 years and the driver has to pay for it.
I can't believe Storm is 37 I thought Storm was in her late 20s.
It's young people I'm most concerned about on the roads, wonder how many of them passed
Definitely!!
They absolutely should
Those nerves in your feet could happen at any age
But the risk of getting it from conditions like strokes and diabetes increases with age.
Whatever next. Afterv70 everyone has to renew their licences. I still think young drivers are worse. They are the dangerous drivers. Why is every young person against pensioners?
Older drivers cost more minor accidents
@@Fabbydabby1better a minor accident than a fatal one.
not every older person needs to take another driving test more like the boy speeders need to have more control over their own driving behaviour. or maybe we will all soon be driving around in controlled cars and thats how things will go.
If this Govt get their way we'll all be driving at 20mph......
No ..make BMW and Audi drivers retake the driving test .
a decline in reaction times ...? well dont forget when someone pulls out on a roundabout with nothing on the road then suddenly a BMW comes flying out of a blind corner at 60mph on a 30 mph road ...the reaction is not to blame .
what about BMW drivers that dont indicate ...? where does reaction time come in for anyone never mind a 70 year old
Just cos they pass a test on a particular good day for them doesn't mean they are safe to drive on other days so passing a test doesn't mean they are safe drivers
I would make it compulsory to retake the test every 5 years, in line CSCS training for diggers dumpers and fork lifts.
Yes
There are two tests that are taken, the theory and practical. I think everyone should be mandated to retake the theory every 10-15 years and practical only if mandated by police or courts. Because we all know that the rules of the road can change and redoing the theory can ensure the driver is keeping updated on the evolving nature of road safety, this with no age limitations.
I have a young relative that should never be on the road
Huntley said take a driving test to prove your eye sight is ok.what are opticians for 😅
What about making foreign nationals that arrive here to take our test if they are living here for over say a year. The driving in area's with a high population of foreign nationals is an absolute disgrace.
