Sadly... It's crazy that you can pass your test at 17 and not have

For standard car licence there's no retraining at 70.

This is true. I thought you had to get a note from your GP to say you
are still fit enough to drive but you don't even have to do that!
It's effectively "self certify". Bonkers.


Indeed. It would be much more sensible to increase the age from 70 to 75
and then increase pro rata with retirement age.
