Not just the elderly drivers need to under go fitness to drive tests, every driver here should have to do the same, as a very large percentage of drivers are not fit to be on the road.

Some years ago I was renewing my Thai licence at DLT and there were quite a number of older drivers who failed the reaction time, depth perception and eyesight tests. They got told to go to another area. Later after watching the safety video I saw them also being issued new licences. I was amazed how their eyesight and reaction times had improved dramatically in one hour!

Perhaps they can, but they will not be allowed to because their driving license will be withdrawn.
