I personally think that there should be more frequent tests for everyone, perhaps every ten years until the age of 60, then at 65 and 70, then every one or two years after that.

Everyone gets in to bad habits when they have been driving for a long time - do you keep your hands at the correct position, do you not cross your hands over when turning a corner, do you continually check your mirrors? People get a little lazy, complacent or over confident and a regular test would remind people how to drive properly.

I also think it would help reduce insurance premiums.

As for older people giving up when they think it's the right time. Not a chance!!!! There is no way that an older person, or anyone for that matter, will give up voluntarily, just because they think they should. Most people are in denial about aging anyway, the majority of people are not going to admit that they're too old or ill or anything else, to drive!
