       Been thinking about the proposed requirements for over 70s to have a mandatory eye test on the grounds of safety every three years instead of self-declaringThere was an old gent (at least 80) asleep in the driver's seat of a brand-new looking and GIGANTIC 7-seat Kia SUV in the supermarket car park, am sure he could only just have seen over the wheel even if he was awake Am sure more lives would be saved if they legislate the maximum size vehicle old people can drive

       @carolen In CO, if you are in the office doing the renewal - they will test your eyes regardless of age.If you renew online, you must submit a form if 80 or overhttps://dmv.colorado.gov/renew-your-colorado-driver-license-permit-or-id-card(it is in one of the sub items)The form requires a vision test up to 6 months prior to license renewal. I'm going to have to shift my annual checkup to be closer to my birthday within the next 11 years. Sigh.

       @mhjohnson In the UK a license lasts 10 years up to the age of 70 then you have to self-certify every 3 years at no costThey are finally talking about mandatory eye checks as I mentioned
