Withdraw proposals for mandatory eye or health tests applying only to drivers aged 70+. Some older drivers already renew licences more frequently and self-declare medical conditions, while some reports show that people aged 70+ are among the safest drivers on the road.

We think eyesight testing for driving should be on an equal/evidence basis across all age groups, rather than singling out one age cohort. We feel this proposal is arbitrary and discriminatory, undermining the independence and dignity of older people without demonstrable safety evidence.
