I’m not sure why any 81 year old should have their driver’s license renewed automatically - I’m a blue hair but feel that people this age should automatically have a driving and vision test every two years or so. Old people’s driving is often pretty scary!

I was b orn in New Zealand...

For decades drivers licenses have expired at age 70..the requirement to renew the license was a full physical, and eyes, hearing etc and psych medical examination, and written and road tests...

If the applicant does not pass the physical etc, no license is issed...

A drivers license was regarded as a privilege and a valued item to possess, not a right...

I think it is still that way...

There are no tradegies with 96 yo men killing 10 people etc...
