Personally, the way I would do it, is if you are over 65 or 70, and involved in an accident where you are at fault, you would then have to take another driving test or evaluation. Maybe the accident should depend on if it were a hit and run, which surprisingly happens a lot with older drivers, or if its an injury accident, or extreme negligence.
Other than that, I think it would be a good idea every now and then to pull over vehicles who block traffic and ask them why they didnt pull over to the side of the road. If the driver seemed to be struggling, then they would be referred for a dirver evaluation. The same should be done to drivers who speed excessively, and who run traffic signals that cause an accident.
