Driving age limit fuels debate in Singapore

A number of accidents involving elderly drivers in recent months have sparked debate over whether seniors should continue to take the wheel.

In September, at least two elderly drivers were involved in police investigations following separate accidents. One of them, aged 77, was arrested over an accident in the Toa Payoh area that led to the death of an 83-year-old cyclist. In another case, a 70-year-old driver's car collided with the rear of a double-decker bus at a Hillview area bus stop.

Such accidents often draw hundreds of comments on social media, with netizens sparring over the merit of having a driving cutoff age.
