It's something Neo Labout might come out with, with their control freakery.

As usual getting the balance right it most important. A tough, real test to start with is fair.

Maybe there is a case for some extra testing when you hit 60 or something, but anything more than that is too close to the nanny state.
Actually, the re-sit the test every few years was just to remove some of the existing drivers from the roads (i.e. solve this traffic problem) - to make up for all the years where they've been giving licences out with birth certificates.
