I would ever pass unless universal
In any state in the union. Someone would find a way to have it tossed is a state tried to impose an age limit on it starting.
That means the time between retests would have to also be a longish window, so the option of reporting anonymously would have to stay around to handle someone who had a precipitous decline in health.
Can’t wait ’ til I get my

Progressive tried to raise rates
for older drivers based on the same stereotype in Maine this summer
The State asked them to prove the basis for the rate hike.
Progressive could not come up with or fabricate believable stats that older drivers result in more claims
They rescinded their request.
Sure if you have shot reflexes and can’t see you ought to be off the road permanently.
In my mind this goes for intoxicated drivers, who have the same problem noticing and responding appropriately. One strike and you are out.
Anyone see that happen?
Teens have highest crash rate.
“Mile for mile, the crash rate for drivers ages 16 and 17, for example, is almost nine times as high as that for middle-aged drivers. People 80 and older are involved in 5.5 times as many fatal crashes per mile driven as middle-aged drivers.”

Folks 80 and over probably don’t know how to text. Teens do.
Or maybe…
They have better things to do than text…
Yup
It’d have to be for all. And no state has the dollars to pay for frequent retesting of everyone unless they raise the fees to an untenable level.
So regardless of what is done for the entire population, you still need a way to deal with specific drivers who have a fast change in their driving abilities.
For any reason regardless of the age it kicks in.

He was asked, “Does your Doctor know you smoke cigars every day?”

To a Stringy Paddler Dying Older Than Dirt
by B. A. Houseboat (man)
(last verse - but of course!)
And round that squirrelly Tillied head
Will flock to gaze at peace meal dead,
for loose String sprung from its canoe.
The old man swam with a Shamu!
Oh Hell
Found out today that the young guy on the bike ride has colon cancer. No wonder he fell off the back. Young people aren’t supposed to get that.
