Rejected petition Persons suitable to continue driving

More details

These days age is not relevant to driving ability, its the person, I am 65, ride a large motorcycle and still have an HGV, I do all my own servicing and some even major things.
It is therefore imperative that without charge that all persons be assessed medically for their fitness to drive. This for all, not just over 70's. I know one lady in her 80's now who regularly drives from UK to Spain and back. Also others in their 40's who I would be reluctant to give a hammer and nails!!
