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.
easy for people to say when they don't fit the criteria...just because one turns 80 doesn't put him or her in a situation that requires a complete examination for everything. I know many who are 80 plus and do not require any testing as suggested here!!!
