I may have to have the other one done shortly, maybe I'' get a pilots job.

Here too in Canada, all persons over 80 years of age have to be tested to maintain their driving license. There is no actual road test but a vision test and a cognitive test to see if you are suffering from Alzheimer's. A couple of other small tests one s drawing a clock and putting the hands at 10 to 10. Then there is a video presentation and a short talk about driving and how to enter a highway from an on ramp etc. Think it's a good practice. You don't get your results but a sealed envelope to take to the licensing offce to get your renewal (if passed)
