But, people do age differently from each other and we need a way to screen out people that are unable to drive safely. One step could be testing more frequently as you get older. 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and then every year. Maybe starting at 60, 78, 84, 88, 90, 91, 92, etc.
No, every 10 years is not true.
Renewal is every 8 years.
Every 6 years after 79.
