For my part, I support competence testing for all drivers whenever a license is issued or renewed, regardless of age.

Yep, a professionally supervised driving test every time.

While it would cost more, it would also be a lot safer to have every driver professionally evaluated by a human being every four years, instead of rubber-stamped as is currently the fashion.

Older drivers aren't the only drivers who pose a threat to public safety.

"Older drivers aren't the only drivers who pose a threat to public safety"

true, just the least regulated of any group....the group destined to pay the cheapest insurance rates and get away with saying that they "fell ill" when they crash the car...

And I notice that for every story I see of "elderly drivers" causing an accident, I see at least TEN of an UNLICENSED/SUSPENDED-LICENSE driver doing the same; and usually not for the first time.

Again, it is only the law abiding that are bothered by laws.

I agree!
