Article in the Times today about the EU trying to get a uniform policy on drivers over 70 having to have regular medicals or assessments - apparently a wide range of rules across the bloc at present. Germany are strongly opposed to any test and restrictions, it seems, which doesn't seem very Germanic - though I suppose reflects their limitless autobahns, some of which still exist.


As one in my 70s, I can't really argue against some form of check, although I'd maybe keep it to an eyesight test, perhaps basic BP and heartrate assessment.
