Three in five motorists think older drivers should be forced to retake the driving test when they reach 66, according to a survey.
A majority of 17 to 24-year-olds would like to see a test retaken at the even younger age of 63, the survey by Auto Trader showed.
The poll of 3763 motorists also revealed that 73% felt concerned when driving behind an older motorist, while 26% felt unsafe when being driven by a driver over the age of 65.
Also, 65% thought older drivers should be subject to regular medical checks.
