"This is pure age discrimination. They cannot provide any evidence or figures to show that drivers aged 70 and over would be more often involved in accidents."

The European Union wants elderly people (70+) to undergo medical tests from now on to prove that they are still capable of driving a car every five years. However, the proposal has been met with a lot of criticism.

    As someone who lives in a town with a high proportion of elderly people, I am not against this idea. We do need to make sure that people found no longer capable of driving safely are able to get the support they need to keep living their best life.
