**Have you wondered whether older drivers should be retested?** Age alone isn’t the issue, but certain signs do call for caution.
**Driving after 75: risk or routine?**
A tragic example in La Rochelle saw an 83-year-old driving the wrong way and injuring children on bikes. It raises a key question: *“Until what age can one drive safely?”* According to the Road Safety Authority, *“drivers over 75 are involved in accidents as often as young people aged 18 to 24.”* Aging affects vision, reflexes, and attention—key for safe driving.

**No age limit in France**
Unlike Italy or Germany, *“France has chosen to center on individual responsibility.”* The B license is valid for life unless revoked by law. There’s no required testing past a certain age.

**Voluntary checks and refreshers**
Seniors can visit doctors for assessments or take refresher courses. These courses help with *“updated informations such as roundabouts or driving assistants,”* and offer feedback to boost confidence.

**Adapt and prepare**
Switching to automatic cars or joining senior driving workshops can ease the experience. Some schools even offer *“personalized monitoring and reassuring support.”*

**Support, don’t shame**
Rather than criticize, it’s wiser to help older drivers stay sharp. *“Their experiences are invaluable,”* and with guidance, they can continue driving safely.
