Yes there should be discrimination in renewing drivers licences. Once past 80 they should be for no more than 2 years...and require vision and reaction testing. It is one of the last freedoms many of us aging want to ever give up.
Family and friends can make it work more effectively by encouraging the "impaired" to not drive. You may save their life at a minimum and others as well.
I would be among the first to complain to have to do it...but would vote for it!!

I know I had to work at it long and hard and unpleasantly at times to get the keys from my mother when she was 89.

I agree.

My father still kept driving while his vision was impaired putting himself and others at risk. When it became too unsafe, the car was taken away from my father by family members., He felt he was dependent and went downhill from there. It was a big blow to him to lose his independence.
