If at “over 60 you can do adult things”, why do we take their drivers licenses away from and make them sit a drivers test every year unlike adults under 60?



They don’t take their license away, they just test more frequently to watch for deterioration of vision, etc.

Also, people under 60 still need to test and qualify for a license. So I’m not sure why you went down this comparison route.


Because it's in society's best interest not to have impaired people driving; whether it's due to substances taken, illness or age.
