An interesting yet older article by the CBC on a governmental incentive to allow elderly people to take driving lessons again instead of giving up driving all together. In British Colombian for example, people over 80 have to pass a medical exam before they can renew their license.
Because ageing also means the decline of physical abilities and judgment, this is a great way to empower people to renew their skills set facing the fact that they were taught how to drive more than 30 years ago, in completely different traffic conditions.
