Wisconsin legislators draft a bill to change senior driver license renewals after 12-year-old Emmet Zodrow was run over and killed in a June crash. His family speaks to NBC 26 about the development.
Dangerous drivers come in all age brackets. A skills-based license should expire in 5-10 years for everyone and require mandatory testing to renew. None of this ageist debate.
Plus given how poorly people drive these days, regular retests may help people remember to pay attention rather than just keep getting worse.
At work we take mandatory computer security training. Everyone grumbles about how stupid it is. But there are stats that show even stupid security training makes a difference as a reminder. Similar deal: by all means grumble about stupid drivers retest every five years, but if it helps even some people remember how to drive safely it will save lives
start retesting at 40. It’s ludicrous that you only have to be tested once in your lofe.

in my state they did away with the skills test for a couple years during covid.
Im down with retesting every 10 years. I just picked 40 because it’s roughly 25 years after the first test.
