The European Union wants elderly people (70+) to undergo medical tests from now on to prove that they are still capable of driving a car every five years. However, the proposal has been met with a lot of criticism.

I think there's various European countries that do that. Scotland has free bus travel for over 60s, under 22s, and people with disabilities. I think Ireland and Portugal have something similar.
