Would you be happy with a driving curfew over the age of 70?It’s strange that the pension age has been increased to 68 yet 2 years later a curfew may be applied to driving. A slippery slope if ever I saw one. Simply a doctor should confirm EVERYONE’s capability to drive no matter their age every 5 years. If you have had a medical problem which necessitates that you stop driving for a period of time than you need to be cleared to recommence driving. If over 2 years then a shortened driving test. Access to your own transportation is essential for all country dwellers, more clarity is required on the proposal, it should be for every one not just silversurfers. If a younger person has an at fault accident which results in a conviction should they not have similar restrictions put in place for say a year. Possibly this would make the road safer for all given that statistics show they’re more likely to be involved in an accident.
