DVLA bans unfit pensioners

The DVLA has released figures showing how many driving licences belonging to over-80-year-olds it has cancelled on health grounds. Birmingham Live reported that 8060 licences were cancelled in the 80-89 age bracket over the last four years, with another 1202 licences cancelled for those aged over 90. Meanwhile, drivers aged 70-79 had the highest number of cancelled licences, with 10,794, probably due to a higher proportion still driving in that group.
