Letter: On the road
Sir: You quote the recommendation of RoSPA that doctors check older drivers more carefully. The real issue is not one of age, but of competence. The huge cost, financial and emotional, of road accidents should be addressed by a government measure requiring all drivers, young and old, to take a retest of skills and awareness at, say, five-yearly intervals.
