The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has announced that it has raised the age at which regular 10-year driving licenses expire for older people from 70 to 75.
Drivers will now only have to renew their licence every three years from the age of 75 or annually should a medical assessment be deemed necessary, according to updated guidelines determining medical fitness to drive.
The RSA published document is used to help healthcare professionals advise patients on whether they are in a satisfactory condition to get behind the wheel.
