Ever wondered how long it will be before you need
a medical and an annual check to drive?

In the UK for a car 70 years of age requires a medical
and every three years there after.

For a HGV at 45 years every 5 years and annually at
65

Competence checks can be imposed by the court following
driving offences, ie disqualification until a test
is past, in effect a driver becomes a student again.

There are very strict guidelines for precribed illnesses,
so we are not far behind or in front!!!!
