Frequent license renewals proposed for older drivers

While a December Motor Vehicle Administration report found older drivers have fewer crashes, a group of experts and witnesses told a House committee Tuesday that older drivers should be required to renew their licenses on a more frequent basis and in-person.

Older drivers involved in fewer crashes, MVA report says

Elderly drivers are sometimes viewed as hazards on the road due to poor eyesight and diminished reflexes, but a preliminary report by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration found that drivers between the ages of 75 and 89 actually had the lowest crash rate of all other age groups.

The posters put up by the staff of U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin said, “Thank you Howard County,” but they might just as well have said “Thank you, Ben” from the elected officials who met with the retiring senator Friday.

The effusive praise and thanks for Cardin’s 58 years of elected service were mutual in the second leg of his “farewell tour” of the state. He’s represented Marylanders for 18 years in the Senate, 20 years in the U.S. House and 20 years in the state House of Delegates, including eight as speaker.
