It is entirely reasonable to pay extra attention to older people, where medical concerns as to driving ability are concerned, as most relevent conditions will either be life-long, so they will never start driving, or are far more common amongst older people.


The question is really how to regulate those who do not govern themselves, regardless of if that is in driving drunk, dangerously fast, whilst attempting to read a map and directions, or whilst suffering from some medical impediment. The enforcement of traffic laws is strongly biased to wards some of these dangerous behaiviours, and away from others.

It's not old and young, or any other arbitary decision. It's simply responsible or irresponsible, and we should act against the irresponsible, wether they refuse to concede their eyesight is no longer good enough for driving, or that speed limits are not a minimum target....
