This proposal is fraught with difficulties as firstly It not feasible to retest every driver when they reach 70, besides the vast proportion of healthy 70 year olds are probably among the best drivers on the road.

Also the driver in question that caused the death of this young woman was told not to drive and he knew he was not fit to drive so this was a criminal act on his part, don't penalise every driver because of one mans selfish actions.

And if we start taking people's licenses away without any proper reason ie on hearsay or gossip or spitefulness from a family member, then we run the risk of these drivers continuing to drive without licence in protest. What are you going to do then ? Good luck trying to police that scenario.

No, I think perhaps a doctors checkup at 75 which concentrates on eyesight, reaction times, levels of awareness etc.... could help filter out the obvious drivers whose health would now make them a risk. After that then say checkups every 5 years
