Rejected petition A call for re-testing the over 70's to see if they are still capable of driving safely on our roads

We would like to see people aged over 70 have to take a theory test and driving test to ensure they are still capable of driving safely on our roads and motorways. Many people over the age of 70 have never had to take stringent tests before they got their driving licences.
