I really think we should all do some sort of refresher course, maybe every 5 years or so regardless of age and this should include an eye test and medical report. I've been driving 40 years and haven't even looked at the highway code since I passed my test. Much has changed since then.
As for older people yes a yearly check in some form from age 60?

@SW-User I both agree and disagree with you...the basic traffic laws have not changed at all. Yes there are new and different laws and ordinances added to them that we should keep up with ( nut most of those are told to us in the news so they really don't require a refresher course. A lot of the violations I observe are the basic common sense things that everybody needs to know to get a license in the first place. What needs to be regularly checked is the person's eyesight, memory, attention, and reflexes...those are the basic most important in being able to safely handle a vehicle. And 60?...I was thinking more along the lines of 70 or 75.
