IL is going in the opposite direction. Currently the only state requiring road tests for drivers over 80, they are looking to eliminate anything that is "ageist".

Quote:
Illinois mandates drivers ages 79 and 80 to take a road exam if their four-year license renewal is up. For drivers ages 81 to 86, it’s every two years, and for those 87 and older, it’s yearly.

Illinois is the only state in the U.S. with that requirement.

Bill 4431 was backed by AARP, which called the policy age discrimination.
