Limiting that to 25 is perhaps too high but I would go with the raising of age certainly from what it is now.
Re-testing and all else at 60, is far too young too for me though, as Vicky said people may need to drive to work and also have to be able to for their work too.
The Govt is making it that retirement age will be 67 in the future, so any re-evaluation of peoples driving skills would have be a lot later than 60 for me to support or want it.

Raising the age you can drive to 25 is the single most ridiculous thing I have ever heard for a long time. Young inexperienced drivers are yes involved in many accidents however however demonising young adults is not the answer.
I feel tests should be ongoing throughout, maybe at 7-10 year intervals?
As you say the need for people to remain in employment is more important, to make sure all remain competent drivers re-evaluation would be beneficial.
