Are Older Drivers Still Fit to Drive?

Should elderly drivers be retested like students reviewing for an exam? Age alone doesn’t define driving ability, but certain signs—like slowed reflexes or poor vision—warrant caution.

A tragic example occurred in La Rochelle, where an 83-year-old driver going the wrong way struck a group of children on bicycles. The incident raised a tough but necessary question: how long can one drive safely?

According to France’s Road Safety Authority, drivers over 75 are involved in as many accidents as those aged 18–24. Age-related changes in vision, hearing, and reaction time play a role.

Yet in France, there’s no age limit. A standard B license remains valid for life unless revoked due to serious infractions. This differs from countries like Italy or Germany, which require health checks starting at age 70 or 75.

As the population ages, reevaluating driving regulations may be key to balancing independence and public safety.
