00:001 in 20 British people believe over 50 should have their licenses revoked.
00:04What do you think about these?
00:07Maybe not over 50.
00:08I don't think so.
00:09I think I can understand where people are coming from,
00:12especially when it comes to visual impairment.
00:14Your reaction time slows down incredibly as you get older as well.
00:19It's really funny, especially when you think about insurance.
00:23Insurance for young drivers is far higher than it is for older drivers,
00:27yet I wouldn't know what the statistics are,
00:29but you could probably say it's a fairly even split both ways
00:31between someone who's 70-plus and someone who's just passed.
00:35I wouldn't say over 50,
00:37but I think if you have a test done and your eyes come back with certain results,
00:41would you be technically legally blind in some cases?
00:44Maybe they should test you when you get older,
00:46like maybe the same age you get your bus pass, like 65.
00:49They should maybe test you to see how fit you are for driving,
00:52because there are plenty of very capable drivers who are over 50.
00:55I don't think it's, you know, you can't really decide on that.
