If a person is incapable of driving safely, then they should not be allowed to drive. The only way to know, is to test them once in awhile. I see no problem here at all.

Your right to be safe on public roads is more important than anyone's privilege to drive a motor vehicle. We are taught when we first take driving lessons, that driving is a privilege, and not a right, and that it is also a responsibility.

Once you are unable to be responsible, you should be required to give up your privilege.
