Personally, the way I would do it, is if you are over 65 or 70, and involved in an accident where you are at fault, you would then have to take another driving test or evaluation. Maybe the accident should depend on if it were a hit and run, which surprisingly happens a lot with older drivers, or if its an injury accident, or extreme negligence.
Other than that, I think it would be a good idea every now and then to pull over vehicles who block traffic and ask them why they didnt pull over to the side of the road. If the driver seemed to be struggling, then they would be referred for a dirver evaluation. The same should be done to drivers who speed excessively, and who run traffic signals that cause an accident.
My concern is about the grey areas and enforcement of them.
At what point do you pull over someone for impeding traffic? When does an officer decide that someone is going too slowly.
I just don\’t think that 45 in a 55 is that big a deal. Now if someone where going 35 that would be really impeding traffic…and maybe impeding a number of cars say 10+..those are the people that I really would support being stopped and asked if they are having any difficulty. And from there it would be the officer\’s judgment on whether a test be administered.

That seems reasonable enough.

Amazing that more pedestrians died in 2006 than all the troops in Iraq in 4 years!.
