    Also, how about re-testing everyone every 10 years. Every 5 years if you’re over 50.

      I’d be up for that. I’d be pissed if I lost my licence but the world would be safer.

    There need to be alternative modes of transport that are accessible

    We collectively need far fewer people to have driver’s licenses in this country. Being part of the minority that can’t drive is harder when that minority is smaller and so less resourced. Although in some ways, with fewer people who can’t drive competition for jobs that don’t need a driver’s license may be lighter.
