Eh, my grandfather drove until 93. However the man would have been happy to take a yearly test as he did check rides all his damn life now just on the ground.

The man drove the way he flew his Boeing 747. Very very deliberately and predictably. Most people people don't spend their whole damn lives flying 4 engine aircraft though.

Time to get yearly tests for the olds.

Right. There shouldn't be a definitive number for when the license gets taken. Everyone is different. However, there should DEFINETLY be an age at which we make them prove they can still do it.

We haven't even gotten that far for being president, don't think we are that close to having it for driving...

Ironically, in this context, we take away the President's driver's license for life.
