With a rise in fatal accidents caused by elderly drivers; does the nation need stricter rules on licenses?

There are so many bad drivers on the road, young, old and in between that the states might as well retest everyone every so often (5-10 years) then close the gap to every 1-2 years once you hit 65ish (while using the same gap between 16 and 21).

Virginia has this already, I think. They test me every five years.

The only thing i know of is the vision test if you have restrictions on your license like daytime only or "X" for corrective lenses...

I just renewed my license in September...didnt have to take a vision test at all....and my new one is good until 2016 i think....

I've had to retake the whole thing a few times. Then again, I've had a few . . . . adventures.

That is a....better idea as any other sort of plan would be viewed as discriminatory and no doubt is.
