If you’re referring to the UK, the claim that drivers over 70 will soon be banned from driving is misleading.
As of October 2026:
-
Drivers in Great Britain can still drive after 70.
-
At 70, they must renew their licence, and renewal is required every 3 years. GOV.UK+1
-
The UK Department for Transport did consult in 2026 on introducing mandatory eyesight tests for drivers aged 70 and over. That is a proposal concerning licensing requirements—not an automatic ban on everyone over 70. GOV.UK
-
Drivers must already meet the required eyesight standards and declare relevant medical conditions. House of Commons Library+1
If you mean Pakistan rather than the UK, the rules are different. In Punjab, for example, current licensing procedures include medical-fitness requirements for older applicants. City Traffic Police Faisalabad
So the headline “drivers over 70 will no longer be able to drive” is not an accurate description of the current UK rules.
