The law prevents young people from driving over an assumption of inability, even if they could otherwise pass the test.
The law does not prevent actually unable old people from driving, and does not require them to retest.
Something about this seems horribly backwards to me.
Ah so it’s the same in all the world, I assumed it was an anomaly of my small European country

If we can have a minimum driving age, we can have a maximum driving age.

In my country, when you first take the driving license (so at 18 years old) you need to get an health certificate that states that you don’t have any health issues like heart/epilepsy/diabetes/sleep apnea and everything that could let you suddenly faint during driving. Good idea, right? But that certificate is never asked again in the driver’s life. Every ten years do a vision test and that’s it.
Because you know, since at 18 someone is healthy, it means at 60 will be still perfectly healthy. No heart issues, sleep apnea or diabetes can develop after someone is 18…
Goddamn geriatric drivers.
