The law prevents young people from driving over an assumption of inability, even if they could otherwise pass the test.
The law does not prevent actually unable old people from driving, and does not require them to retest.
Something about this seems horribly backwards to me.
Ah so it's the same in all the world, I assumed it was an anomaly of my small European country

If we can have a minimum driving age, we can have a maximum driving age.

In my country, when you first take the driving license (so at 18 years old) you need to get an health certificate that states that you don't have any health issues like heart/epilepsy/diabetes/sleep apnea and everything that could let you suddenly faint during driving. Good idea, right? But that certificate is never asked again in the driver's life. Every ten years do a vision test and that's it.
Because you know, since at 18 someone is healthy, it means at 60 will be still perfectly healthy. No heart issues, sleep apnea or diabetes can develop after someone is 18....
Goddamn geriatric drivers.
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
