Should ‘old age’ see driving licenses revoked?: Interview with Carmoola

A new survey by digital car finance lender, Carmoola, has revealed that as many as 36 of Brits think that older drivers’ licences should be revoked due to what they called ‘old age.’ The nationally representative survey, which was conducted on 2,000 adults, also found that a fifth of Brits believe that drivers should be required to retake their driving practical and theory tests every 10 years. br A stark divide between older and younger drivers was clear in the research, with 11 of Brits thinking that licenses should be withdrawn once drivers reach 70 years old. br Interestingly, according to data from gov.uk, in 2022, around a fifth of all killed or seriously injured casualties from collisions involving cars were in collisions which involved a young car driver. Alternatively, drivers aged 50–59 were involved in 12 of reported road accidents in the UK. Aidan Rushby, founder and CEO of Carmoola, said: “Our recent survey highlights that, despite no current laws mandating it, the majority of Brits believe drivers should be required to retake their tests after a certain number of years to maintain safety on UK roads.
