New step in traffic safety: Driver's license restriction for those over 75!

The European Union is introducing a new regulation for drivers over 75 in order to ensure traffic safety. With this change, the aim is to reduce accidents involving elderly drivers. According to the new rule, drivers over the age of 75 will not be able to drive even if they obtain a medical report.

CURRENT RULES FOR DRIVERS IN TURKEY

In Turkey, drivers over the age of 70 are required to obtain a medical report every 5 years. Furthermore, individuals aged 65 and over must submit a medical report to renew their driver's licenses. Drivers over the age of 80 are obligated to obtain this report every 2 years.

NEW DECISION SPARKS DEBATE

The new restriction introduced by the European Union for drivers over 75 has led to differing opinions in the public sphere. Supporters argue that as age advances, reflexes and attention levels decrease, making this regulation necessary for traffic safety. However, some segments are reacting to the decision, stating that this practice restricts the freedom of elderly drivers and makes personal vehicle use difficult.
