I get there will be a handful that are still fairly competent drivers but we don't legislate for the handful, as a society it is acknowledged that at age 65 you are fit for the scrapheap and should get a state hand out because you are not fit to work and that makes sense not fit to work not fit to drive.

I don't know about you, but I will not be getting my "state handout" until I am 67. And that age is on the rise as more older people are in better health than ever before. I am almost certainly older than you, but I guarantee my reaction times are faster than yours because of the type of hobbies I do. They require very good hand/ eye coordination, nimble dexterity.

If they can remember. the UK department of transport study says they often don't look.

Add to that a load of them drive despite being on meds that say not to operate heavy machinery.

What sort of society do you live in? Can you let us have your reference?
