Let’s be honest – some people out there have no business being behind the wheel. From the ones who treat stop signs like suggestions, to those texting mid-drive, to the speedsters who think every road is a racetrack, it’s chaos out there. And lately, another question has been coming up: at what point should older drivers hang up their keys?

There is currently no law in South Africa setting an upper age limit for holding a driver’s license. Instead, the law emphasizes capacity - eyesight, reflexes, cognitive ability, and overall health - rather than age itself.

Some people in their 60s may already struggle to drive safely, while others remain capable well into their 90s. The real challenge, is the reluctance of elderly drivers to give up their independence, which often makes family interventions difficult.
