My grandad luckily fell, broke his hips, and become hospitalised until his death before he managed to drive over any innocent pedestrians or crash into other cars besides when parking.
I'd venture to suggest retaking the standard driving test at 65, 70, and 75, and then every two years if an elder wishes to retain his license. You can only figure out if someone is fit for driving by observing how he drives. A doctor can't do it from his office, and relatives are too close. An independent, objective driving test examiner would fail or pass elder people by the same criteria he fails or passes young new drivers straight from the driving school.
Basically, anyone on the public roads should be fit for passing a driving test at any time, the elderly people included.
