Individuals who are 80 years old or older can still drive in Singapore, but they are subject to certain conditions and requirements:
- Medical Examination: Once a driver turns 65, they are required to undergo a medical examination every 3 years to assess their fitness to drive. This requirement continues past the age of 80.
- Renewal of Driving Licence: Drivers who are 80 years old or older are required to renew their driving licence every 2 years.
- Refresher Course: Starting from the age of 80, drivers are encouraged to attend a refresher course on road safety.
- Vision Test: Drivers aged 80 and above are required to pass an eyesight test as part of the medical examination.
- Consideration of Medical Conditions: The Traffic Police may consider any medical conditions that might affect a driver’s ability to drive safely.
- No Age Limit for Private Roads: There is no age limit for driving on private roads, such as those within private estates or condominiums. However, this does not apply to public roads.
