I think that a re test at a certain age, too today's standards would solve a lot of problems , to include the theory test .
How many times have you been behind a elderly person sat in the middle lane on the motorway doing 50 mph ?Me personally a few times .
It was only 2 weeks ago that i was behind a elderly lady travelling down the slip road at junction 5 joining the 65 and she was doing 25 mph , luckily the motorway was not busy God knows what the out come would have been in other circumstances.
I have always maintained that there should be something set in place to measure capability on the road at a certain age , because i know for sure I would rather know if i was a risk to myself and others , because thinking you are capable and actually being capable are two different things .
