Should drivers be required to retake a driving test when they reach 70?

Drivers in Great Britain must renew their licence at 70 and every three years afterwards, but are not required to retake their driving test.

The government has proposed tighter rules for older motorists, including mandatory eyesight tests, as part of wider road safety reforms.

Supporters argue retesting could identify drivers whose ability has declined and improve road safety.

Critics argue age alone does not determine driving ability and that losing a licence can significantly affect independence.

The issue has prompted debate over whether drivers should be required to retake their test at 70.
