Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY!!!...
Under 21 and over 55,The elderly should not have to pay for these tests(they have already payed their debt to us and the state
for many years.
Having worked in Fire/Rescue for 20 years I've seen the end result of bad reflexes and bad judgement from both ends of the spectrum. |

I think they need retesting after 65 and tougher vision tests all around. |

Yes, their reaction times and vision aren't as keen as they were when they were younger and to ensure the safety of other people on the road it would be neccesary that the elderly test again to reinforce their ability to drive safely. |

EVERYONE should be forced to take driver tests periodically. We foolishly allow incompetents to run free on our highways. This might cull a few out...but don't count on it. |

50 is not elderly. I think people should have to begin retaking their test at 75. |

You mean beyond the usual requirement of taking again it every few years? I'd say 70 is a better cutoff, with more frequent reflex testing as they get older. |

How old are you?LOL...50 isn't elderly.75 or 80 is the point where drivers should be tested. |

No not 50, but during their retirement they should be required to test twice a year, as well as beginning drivers no matter what age they are, until at least 2-3 years of experience are achieved. |

YES! I have a grandmother that still drives and she's 93 years old! Some older people still have it, but some don't and I truly believe they should have yearly exams to make sure their eyesight and response times have not deteriorated. Some elderly people that live alone may not be able to see the decline in their own driving abilities. I think the state should be able to step in and mandate their licensing. |

They should take a test to see if they are still capable of driving. For safety reasons not only for the other drivers but for them. |

Geez, how is being in your 50s elderly??
I think after the age of about 65, it might not be a bad idea for them to get the eye tests every few years, but that's it. |

I guess 1 big question is how do we determine the age to start enforcing testing. My mother is 61 and drives fine. Perhaps setting a starting age (I would say 55) and then every 3 years after that. The other thing to note is that their income is reduced at that age and may not be able to afford testing. |

I think after you get like 70-75 you shouldnt be driving. Because by this time vision && hearing are not as well as when you took you drivers test. I know it sounds wrong, but its really not if you think thoroughly about it |

50 is not old.. what about starting from 65 or something? |

Yes, as people get older their reaction time slows, I believe 50 may be a bit young, however taking precautions are a good idea. |

No. Not until 70. |

50 is not elderly.... How old are you? Just get your license? I do agree that after the age of 65 maybe. |
