Do you think drivers should have to be retested every 5 to 10 years?

Watching some drivers on the streets of my city, I wonder how they got their driving license in the first place. Do some drivers tend to forget the laws of safe driving and would having mandatory retests help to make our streets safer?

	Yes, mandatory retests would be good Right choice
	No, it's not necessary

yasin514 wrote 347 days ago

tell me Do you agree to marry me?

eleanorpcinco wrote 347 days ago

5 years is too long to determine the driver is not a problem to society to be high risk. for grave offense has to undergo at once the retest for the purpose to qualify to drive.

magadha22 wrote 348 days ago

it should

f_ree_ze_12345 wrote 348 days ago

yes that is true but.......in doing so, you will only danger the entire planet, more people means more resources and we're running out, so by saving a few lives will be promoting the end of the world, sometimes people just have to die......u have to learn to accept it, when it happens to you, you will realize the same.....so in other words, there is no right choice we all die in the end.

cooltimer wrote 349 days ago

coolguy_dinesh87 wrote 349 days ago

I dont think its necessary to test them again.. its just a waste of time .. Drivers get more experience over these years and learn to drive better..

samarth4u wrote 349 days ago

Yes

coates16 wrote 349 days ago

i so agree with the person under me!

debbiegirl wrote 349 days ago

yes i think its a good idea but will it stop stupidity behind the wheel? I doubt it

lostangelbearsr wrote 349 days ago

I think it would be a good idea, and the trooper giving the driving test should put more emphasis on using your blinker, and the Right of way laws than they do now! People around my area are complete morons to the laws of the blinker and right of way laws!

dollybug1972 wrote 349 days ago

people over age 60 should be tested every 2 yrs

hanson.d wrote 349 days ago

I think they should retest when new road laws come out... or every 5-10 years. so yeah.

cambersullivan wrote 349 days ago

Dwsilercity wrote 349 days ago

Of course they should be retested. . Things change sometimes drastically over the course of time. Eye sight, memory, reaction time, etc. . .We owe it to the public to try to make the nations highways as safe as possible. . . Wouldn't want to lose a loved one to someone who shouldn't even be on the road. . .D.W.

kgz95 wrote 349 days ago

YES! I THINK THERE (OPPS CAPS SRY HOLD ON) anyways i think there are bad drivers out there who will never change there ways but it's a good idea to re-test and re-evaluate, just to help those bad drivers, who've forgotten the laws, help maybe ya know, change their ideodic and stupid ways, after all it's best for the public.

oxNickyxo wrote 349 days ago

i think they should take the test. after every 10 years. I know people who have been driving for 6-8 years and have forgotten the majority of the things. and where i live.. there has Been 378 accidents since new years because of drivers forgetting the main basic stuff to what made them pas the test in the first place.

tomaake.chaai wrote 349 days ago

it's all about attitude of d driver, it does not matter if he passes d test will drive better.. in driving experience matters..one should drive whn s/he is physically nd mentally fit..dats all

musicman1045 wrote 349 days ago

This question is incomplete. If there had been an age add to when retesting should be required, my answer would have been yes. After a certain age, reflexes slow down. I think anyone 70 or over should be retested on a yearly basis. They may have become unsafe drivers through no fault of their own but nontheless, they are just as apt to take someone's live as a driver that is unsafe because they don't follow the laws of the road.

Solarknight wrote 349 days ago

It ll be nice if taxi drivers gets license nd thn drive....They shouldnt drink nd drive ...They must write a practical license exam which is followed in Turkey......

noureddi33 wrote 349 days ago

Though it's quite indicative and helpful for some, it can not be binding.

jturney wrote 349 days ago

At the very least, people who have multiple tickets/wrecks.

NeilTEgan wrote 349 days ago

I drive professionally, I think that there are alot of people that shouild not have drivers licenses on these roadways toady. If the state required people over the age of 65 to be retested every 3 years that would be a start. Also the people giving the roadtests, need to be professioanl Class A drivers and nothing short of that

mariolorenzon wrote 349 days ago

It should be only compulsory when the driver is a reofender

swans_rule98 wrote 349 days ago

i agree with deepajm idea that that it should be easy for experienced driver but when they are 70-200 they should be tested every 5years

freakoutboys wrote 349 days ago

No its not compulsory.... a person who gets da license thn thy need not to be retested for every 5-10 years....

alek_ber wrote 349 days ago

yes...

chrissyjae96 wrote 349 days ago

it's a good idea to make sure that they're not slaking off

deepajm wrote 349 days ago

i think drivers should be retested every 10 years, but the test should be easy as in for experienced driver

Chrisrules wrote 349 days ago

Yesthat is a great idea

lostinthegreymaze wrote 349 days ago

If it is illegal to drive when your skills are impaired by drugs or alcohol, what about age, stupidity or carelessness?

lostinthegreymaze wrote 349 days ago

If seat belts and car seats are required for safety's sake, shouldn't skill be a requirement too. More people kill other people with cars than anything else!

babyboo1971 wrote 349 days ago

yes i think they should..as ya not getting any younger

matthewbnash wrote 349 days ago

Yes - if you are a good driver you have nothing to worry about, and taking a test should be of little concern. Good bet!

mazzdav wrote 349 days ago

i think yes !! there would be less numbers of accidents !!

prakashbhavya wrote 349 days ago

yeah....... they need

pasirisman wrote 349 days ago

10yrs maybe

uhriaheep wrote 349 days ago

Yes.....they make Truck Drivers do it here in Ontario Canada ...at least a Written test should be given to all to remind them of the "Rules of the Road" it just might Save a life or Two
