As we age, our physical and cognitive faculties decline. As a result, our driving habits change, which can affect our behavior on the road, to the point of becoming potentially dangerous. Tests to assess driving abilities are not yet mandatory, but are highly recommended in order to maintain your senior driving license.

Residents are in shock in La Rochelle. On Wednesday, June 5, a road accident involving a group of 12 children on bikes from a leisure center and an 83-year-old female driver occurred at a crossroads near the city center. While they were on an after-school outing, the octogenarian hit them with his car, injuring seven people, three of them seriously. She was driving the wrong way, according to a resident to AFP. A judicial investigation has been opened.
