Amid calls to bring in stricter driving rules for young drivers, we want to know if you think similar restrictions should be applied to older drivers to improve road safety
The debate centers on whether stricter driving rules for young drivers, such as banning peer passengers to reduce accidents, should be mirrored for older drivers. The Older Drivers Forum recommends older drivers review their skills and health. Proposals include mandatory retesting for older drivers, though some argue fitness should be based on ability, not age. Critics warn age-based rules may unfairly affect older drivers reliant on cars, especially in areas with poor public transport. The discussion invites opinions on whether tightening rules for both groups would enhance safety or be discriminatory.
