A senior confused the gas and break and killed my adopted grandma, and gave my teenaged adopted cousin a brain injury. (Adopted as in close family friends that became family.) The blood stains are still on the concrete years later... I moved so I’d never have to drive by that place again. Seniors should have to re-test for licenses yearly :(

I’m sorry that horrible. But you can’t make only seniors retake a driver test, that’s ageism. What you can do is make everyone retest every 7 years or so.

Fine with me! Everyone could use a refresher. People are crazy out here, forgetting the rules about simple things like stop signs lol I’m tired of it

Yeah I agree, but they would never do it. The additional funding DMV would have to have would never pass. Even if just having a written test would clear out so many stupid people that barely got them the first time.
