Persons over 70 years of age must submit a medical report with an application for a driving licence and are restricted, depending on the certification of the doctor who completes the report, to either a one year or three year driving licence. This requirement is in line with general EU requirements regarding periodic medical assessment of licence holders and is in the interests of the individuals concerned, other road users and road safety generally.
