What would help would be relaxing the medical requirements for older drivers. Our retirement age keeps getting pushed up as we are fitter for longer, licensing should reflect this too.
I asked my MP about this. He sourced a reply from the Department of Transport which quoted some EU rule about 5 year increments, spouted a load of sanctimonious tosh about Elf And Safety and said there were no plans to change things.
This BTW was the DoT’s words not my MP so don’t shoot the messenger!
