After 70s as a driver.

1. Driver should go for medical check up & fitness check.
2. Clear of accident and summons.

Good idea but barking up the wrong tree.

Enforcement is where the issues are at.

GDL holders need a medical check every year in order to renew licenses. Doesn't stop all the recent heavy vehicle accidents. Licensing isn't the issue, it's enforcement.

You cant blanket and burden ALL older folks because some get into accidents. Where are the stats to justify that?

Old people are actually more careful when driving. They would take multiple breaks especially on long distance highways during balik kumpung time. Most accidents I saw are from younger aged drivers who speed without looking the roads.

Exactly. If you've live that long, god forbid you haven't acquired some common sense.

My dad is 75. Drives perfectly fine. He just doesn't have the attention and stamina to drive 2-3 HR stints...so he takes more frequent breaks or just take the train for cheap.

It's the younger drivers, motorcyclist and heavy commercial vehicles that get into trouble more than anything.

i didnt bark any tree.

Merely suggestion.

Why you so worked out? its friday.  :confused:

Not worked up. Just saying jpj/pdrm got more important issues they need to handle first...which they aren't.

Old folks are driving much less. Less of them on the roads. So less accidents. Your suggestion burdens ALL senior drivers to prevent the small percentage of accidents. Priorities does not match the intended purpose.
