At what point in life is it time for someone to give up their drivers license?

[kail]

After a certain age (will let the experts decide), require annual tests to make sure they can still drive safely. If they fail that and some allowed appeal test, they shouldn't be allowed to drive.

[Daedius]

When they fail their driving test...

Test every 10 years till pensioner age, then every 1-2 years onwards.

[frogger237]

After you have run over your 6th person.

So if someone can't drive safely unless they're 10 miles under the speed limit I think it's time to turn in the drivers license. I'm talking 15 mph in a 25 mph zone. What do you guys think?

I'd rather have people drive too slow than too fast.

I hope I never see the day where I am stuck in the damn house because my vision is too shit to drive. Hopefully self-driving cars will be a thing by then.

[Sandraudiga]

Easy answer is when they are no longer safe to drive. Reasons for that being the case are varied and while the answer is simple the enforcement is anything but. Eye test at renewal at the very least should be standard.

[Radaney]

I'd say take a new test past retirement age but that age nowadays in like 110 or something.

For sure but there's also a point where driving too slow is as much of a hazard. Going 30 on a highway with a speed of 75 for example.

For sure. Most states have speed laws in relationship to flow of traffic for a reason.

If they buy an Audi or a BMW, someone from the DMV fast-ropes in from the Chinook and cuts up their license.

If it's a Lincoln Town Car, they just blow the entire dealership.

[The Oblivion]

if a ticket is the bench mark do we mean any ticket? Or only certain types of tickets? What if someone gets at ticket for having their car radio up to loud? Does that warrant taking the driving portion again?

i mean, you could probably apply common sense. but you do you man

so good to be young - this feeling of "i'm immortal and i wont be like other old people"

one day you will realise that you will be old too - i bet you would love to have your licence removed .

When the doctor says so.

What the hell are you on about, nothing of what you said is in his post.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Never at this point arm everyone let them drive whatever they can move on the road because America Freedom!

[Shakadam]

I'm not sure I follow you -- License renewal (at least here in Illinois) is every 4 years. I know in some other places it's 5 years. Basically instead of just taking a new photo and calling it a day they submit to another written and driving test like they did when they first got their license. Both the rules of the road and technology has changed quite a bit even in the last 22 years since I got my own license.

I got my license in 2006 and it doesn't expire until 2058 =/

[oxymoronic]

If you live in a developed country/area you don't need one to begin with...otherwise never.

overdeveloped you mean. who would want to live like sardines? we have all this space on earth and you want to breathe other peoples air all day long even in my fucking home? lol no thanks bro.

just imagine when you see somebody hit a vape and exhales... people exhale that amount every time they breathe. that cant be good for the human body, places like NYC.

uhh do they do any check ups before that? what if you vision degrades way before then? good luck people of finland?

[lockedout]

Well - as I need a drivers licence to survive - I imagine when I'm ready to die I suppose.

You drive a car?

[schwarzkopf]

You drive a car?

Yeah - that's how I feed myself, get to the doctors and that sort of thing.

[Rudkobing]

[Zafire]

I always felt there should be a "Brain processing speed" test you should have to do every five years after you turn 70. If you can't respond to a simple question like "What is the animal in this picture?" in a reasonable amount of time, how will you be able to process "The light just changed" or "I shouldn't turn left yet"?
