Drivers aged sixty and above will need to renew their licenses annually under proposed new rules. The National Transport and Safety Authority announced the change, stating it aims to improve road safety for older motorists. These drivers must also provide a yearly medical report during the renewal process.
An NTSA manager explained that the requirement focuses on safety, not personal medical details. The agency will also advise senior drivers to avoid speeding and plan trips carefully. This proposal is part of a broader driver curriculum reform, but still requires parliamentary review and public input before becoming law. Current regulations mandate a three-year renewal period for all drivers without medical checks.
