The decision to increase the licence renewal age from 70 is a complex one and requires consideration of multiple factors. While it is true that life expectancy has increased and the retirement age has also gone up in many countries, it is also important to consider the potential risks associated with older drivers on the road.

There is evidence to suggest that older drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents, and that their physical and cognitive abilities may decline with age. However, it is also true that not all older drivers are at equal risk, and some may continue to drive safely well into their 70s and beyond.

Ultimately, any decision to increase the licence renewal age would need to balance the need to ensure road safety with the rights and independence of older drivers. It may be possible to consider alternative measures, such as regular medical check-ups or additional driving assessments, to ensure that older drivers are fit to drive.
