(Eve Martin photo) MPP applauds new guidelines In an effort to ease the cur- rent driver licensing for sen- iors, the Ministry of Trans- portation is changing the way they licence drivers over 80- years-old, beginning Nov. 1. Under the current system, drivers have to renew their licences every year once they become 80 years of age, which involves taking a vi- sion test, a written knowl- edge-of-the-road-test, and a road test. Under the new program ,seniors will only have to re- new their licence every sec- ond year. This renewal will require a vision test, aknowl- edge-of-the-road test, and attendance at a driver im- provement seminar. An ac- tual road test will only be required when there is an ac- tual indication that there may be a problem. "By and large seniors will welcome these changes. Ex- perience from other jurisdic- tions suggests that education brings about more positive results than testing," Halton North Member of Provincial Parliament Ted Chudleigh remarked, adding, "the new program not only accommo- dates seniors but recognizes our commitment to road safety."
