Everyone knows that rights in our country can be obtained from the age of 18. Much more interesting is the question: up to what age is it allowed to drive a car. People who have retired are especially worried about this. On the Web, you can find a lot of conjectures and opinions that are radically different from each other. We tried to understand this issue.

Let's not beat around the bush for a long time. In our state, there is no upper limit that would prohibit elderly people from driving a car. You can drive at least a hundred years old. But in practice, not everything is so simple.

According to the law, the driver must renew his license every 10 years. You don't need to take exams, but you can't get out of the medical board. It is not so easy for elderly people to do this, because vision is no longer the same, and chronic exacerbations make themselves felt. True, there are also workarounds in the form of unscrupulous doctors who are ready to write out the necessary document for a fee.

Another point that can get in the way of free driving with a pensioner driver is obtaining a CTP policy. The agent can refuse this service, imposing additional insurance. In this case, you do not need to go about a person who wants to cash in on an elderly person, but contact Rospotrebnadzor.

The third prohibiting factor may be medication that the driver takes. There is a huge list of drugs with substances that should not be consumed while driving. There have been cases that the driver was deprived of his license for using a simple Corvalol.
