        As a driving instructor I would 100% agree with retests not just in elderly drivers but all, people pass the test and then forget everything they’ve been taught, which defeats the object - only issue would be costing, it has to be realistic

        Time for restesting I am afraid. Rules change over time. Not saying anyone is better than anyone else of a certain age but have to draw a line.

        Surely time to start re-testing all drivers? So many seem to not understand the elementary basics of the Highway Code .

        Why are people in their 80s not retested or given a refresher? How awful for this young man's family. Very sad.

        Old people vote so nobody wants to upset them by forcing retests. We don't have enough examiners for everyone to be retested. Maybe everyone needs a black box for insurance and use its data to target those who might need retesting?

        I have a feeling this is a suicide pact between the husband and wife. Not even the world's most horrendous drivers could fail to notice what is happening around them for so long.

        I've said for years that there should be some form of refresher course at 65, 70, 75, 80 or something like that.

        Lack of Roads Policing is partly to blame, but #DVSA should also assess #Fitnesstodrive in elderly drivers
