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.

Your tone makes me want to not respond to anything, I've been through the wringer arguing with people like you so I'm not going to other than one thing.

You don't seem to know what starve the beast means. I'm talking about spending tax money to improve the driving department of a country, I'm not talking about intentionally making them under-perform so that people want it privatised....
