I do think that it needs to happen. Your reflexes and eyesight, never mind other things.Saw footage of this earlier (not the crash but the car/caravan going through avoiding traffic). There are a lot of questions that need asking regarding the elderly and retaking of driving tests.

However, there are plenty young drivers who are just as bloody dangerous on the roads.
The standard of driving has become terrible over the last 10 years or so.
Agreed. Obviously, younger drivers are dangerous for different reasons. Some of it is that the number of cars on our roads continues to grow. I think a lot of bad driving from younger drivers can stem from impatience.

Regardless of age if you're all up top the cars heading towards you is the clueI've seen the footage. Mental fucker shouldn't have been driving at all.
Why didn't he just stop on the hard shoulder rather than ploughing on THE WRONG WAY down a motorway?!
That and self importance
To be honest, it might not be a bad idea if everyone was made to take a test every 5 years or so.
Granted not as harshly marked as the initial test - then again that depended on who you got - but still a test to try and keep a lid on bad driving habits

i went the wrong way twice in a Spain on very confusing junctions ,as said the cars coming towards you sort out any confusion quite quick
Even the worst driver can blag it for 1/2 hr. I’d like to see a medical/computer/reaction test done every few yearsI've seen the footage. Mental fucker shouldn't have been driving at all.

Seen a video on FB earlier of this but assumed it was an old video as it was time stamped 2015
Stupid old kernt
When you have people involved you will always have failure. The people I see getting out of cars and hardly even able to walk. How are legs that barely work able to push a brake quickly? People who can’t judge parking at 2 mph, how can they navigate safely through traffic at 50? It frightens me watching some people and the general standards must be very low and I doubt these people would pass these tests.Not a bad idea. Dread to think how much that would cost
Considering the standard of driving over here compared to other countries, it's a good job things like this don't happen every day.
But that doesn't mean they should happen at all as they are almost totally preventable
