In France today, nothing prevents elderly people from driving their vehicle. With the lifetime driving license, without any compulsory medical examination, France is almost an exceptional country in the European Union.
MEPs must study a law brought by French MEP Karima Delli (EELV) which would like to make the guarantee of a driving license conditional on a medical examination every 15 years. This bill rekindles the debate on lifetime driving licenses for seniors, whose driving worries many families in France...Sometimes to the great despair of those first concerned.
