Would you be happy with a driving curfew over the age of 70?This really is fine if you live in a city with masses of public transport but would really have dire consequences for people living in rural areas where public transport is very limited and sometimes almost non existent. Some villages have only a few buses a day that perhaps allow you a couple of hours to do shopping, no buses in the evening at all so going to theatre ,cinema , dining out becomes impossible due to high costs of taxis. Also no bus service on Sundays and often less frequent on Saturdays. So it should be up to Doctors to give opinions about patients ability to drive. Rural isolation is a real problem and can cause severe mental issues if people are prevented from driving.
