00:00Taiwan is lowering the minimum age for renewing driver's licenses amid concerns over the safety of older motorists.
00:07The new policy means drivers aged 70 and older will need to complete a medical exam and road safety course
00:13to keep their licenses down from 75.
00:16It follows a deadly crash in New Taipei last year involving a 78-year-old driver.
00:21The renewed licenses would only be valid for five years, at which point drivers would have to take a cognitive
00:27test to keep driving.
00:28The changes take effect at the end of May.
