It was basically to see if I was a functioning adult and, of course, I passed easily. Now I am 77 and I think all drivers my age should be tested every year.
They should also be tested for swift braking ability, quick maneuvering when required, ability to turn head and neck to check blind spots… the list goes on and on.
