Across Australia, another road-safety debate is getting people talking:

**Should drivers automatically lose their licence after the age of 60?**

Some Australians argue that stricter checks for older drivers could help improve road safety, particularly as eyesight, reaction time and some health conditions can change with age.

Others believe age alone should never decide whether someone is fit to drive. Many people over 60 remain safe, experienced and responsible drivers, and losing a licence could seriously affect independence, work and everyday life.

The bigger question is whether Australia should introduce tougher age-based restrictions — or continue assessing drivers based on their actual ability and medical fitness rather than age alone.

**AUSTRALIA IS IN DEBATE 🇦🇺**

**SHOULD AUSTRALIA CANCEL DRIVERS’ LICENCES AFTER AGE 60 TO IMPROVE ROAD SAFETY?**

👍 **YES**
❤️ **NO**

**Should age determine when someone stops driving — or should every driver be assessed individually?**
