Should driver's licenses be revoked at a certain age?

I've seen some elderly people driving and almost hitting me and some other cars.

Do you think a drivers license should be revoked once you hit a certain age such as above 70 years of age?

Some older people do need to have their drivers license revoked. But I don't think it should be based on age.

I know a 90 year old man that is a great driver and I would trust riding with him over a new teenage driver.

He's an excellent driver and has good eyesight and coordination.

So no drivers licenses shouldn't be revoked just because you turn a certain age.

It should be based on the actual drivers ability to operate a motor vehicle.
