If a driver would be "reported to the state" for being too old to drive safely, there is nothing the "state" can do as long as the person has a valid license. If a relative or friend cannot get them to voluntarily give up their license to drive, there is nothing that can be done.

Now, if there was a mandatory vision/driving skills test after 80, a license could be revoked and I feel most would abide with that revocation.

The same could be said for guns. If there was a mandatory vision/shooting skills test after 80, the gun could be kept or lost. Is this "gun control"? Yes and therefore will never happen.
