Drivers 75 and older who cause crashes face new training rule
Posted on 2026-11-04 14:05:13
Starting in late December, drivers aged 75 and older who cause a crash by breaking traffic rules will have to pay for training before they can renew their licenses.
The Ministry of Transportation says those drivers must complete hands-on training at a driving school.
The requirement follows a change in May that lowered the age for routine license renewal from 75 to 70.
Drivers who turn 70 can renew through age 75 after passing a medical exam and taking a free safety course.
From age 75, licenses are renewed every three years.
The changes are part of a broader overhaul that also adds questions on spotting hazards to the written driving tests.
