    because seniors currently have all the political power in the US, they shoot down that smart idea.

      Florida, the state with one of the highest rates of old people, does have some laws.

      https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/florida-granddriver/driver-license-renewal-requirements-options-older-drivers/

      Normally you get your license renewed and it lasts 8 years. After 80 it lasts 6 years. Normally you can renew your license online by just clicking a button and paying a fee. But after 80 you need to come into the DMV and do a vision test.

      I think the tests could be a little more broad, and perhaps start a little earlier like at 75. So for example after 75 you need to renew your license every 3 years or something and must always do a vision test (and maybe even a driving test)

      I’m sure other states have similar rules, I doubt Florida is leading the country on anything
