What this bill does
This bill changes the rules for renewing driver's licenses in Bermuda. It requires all drivers to get a medical fitness certificate every 10 years when renewing their license, and raises the age when older drivers must take a new driving test from 65 to 70 years old.
If Passed (Voted Yes)
All drivers will need to submit a doctor's certificate proving they're physically fit to drive every time they renew their license (every 10 years)
Drivers won't have to take a new driving test until age 70 instead of age 65
License renewals will happen every 10 years until age 70, instead of the current system that changed at age 65
If Rejected (Voted No)
Drivers will continue renewing licenses without needing medical certificates every 10 years
The current rule requiring new driving tests at age 65 will remain unchanged
The existing license renewal schedule will stay as it is now
Who It Affects
This affects all licensed drivers in Bermuda, particularly those approaching or over age 65 who will get an extra 5 years before needing to retake their driving test. It also impacts all drivers who will now need regular medical check-ups to keep their licenses.
