Reform License Renewal Procedure To Save Lives

Target:
NY State Motorists
Sponsored by: 

By 2024, one out of every four American motorists will be age 65 or older -- nearly double what it is today!  Helping ensure safe travel for all does not need to entail age discrimination.
At present, NY drivers are only required to renew their driving license every eight (8) years, and need not do so in-person.
We can save lives and weed out incompetent drivers by requiring every driver to take a road test on their alternate renewal period -- in other words, every 16 years, we prove that we are mentally and physically competent to sit behind the wheel.

I'm getting close to that age, a refresher course requirement would be just fine with me. I don't want anyone to lose a loved one on the road, I lost my mom, that isn't something anyone should have to go through.
