In the U.K. for a private car driving licence a new application has to be
completed at 70 years of age . This requires a new medical declaration,
but it is self-declared; no medical examination is required (unless some
complication is declared - but this applies at all ages).

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 prescribed illnesses,
so we are not far behind or in front!!!!
