I fully agree with Reckers about comments on this accident when not knowing all the facts and seeing all the evidence I also agree that possibly a re test of older people may improve driving. If you are up to standard then you have no worries.
What I find is amazing is that there is no medical checks to see if you are up to scratch. I gave up my licence to drive due to being now only partially sighted. I was amazed that my optician having tested my eyes and had to inform me that my eyesight was not good enough to drive (I already had stopped driving because I new this without the eyesight test) was prevented from informing DVLA and it was up to me to inform them. I wonder how many drivers do not notify the authorities. Particularly people who have mobility problems.
I know the courts have the power take driving licences away from drivers but once you are before the court in most cases the damage has been done.
