After a fatal accident in Berlin: Greens want regular tests for seniors. In a Verivox survey, 76 percent of respondents voted for mandatory testing.
A total of 56 percent of 70 to 79 year olds were in favor of such a mandatory check. The EU is working on driving license reform and presented new guidelines in March 2023. That caused massive criticism. In November the EU plans changed again. Many older people fear exclusion and isolation if they are no longer allowed to drive. “I'm 57. Then I'm excluded at 70,” wrote users on social media.
