Calls for mandatory screening for senior drivers

Damien Tomsett was hit by a car while crossing at a crosswalk in Halifax a few weeks ago. The driver of that vehicle was 89 years old — and his case has renewed a debate about whether more testing and regulations of senior drivers would improve safety on the road. Matt Galloway hears from Dr. Shawn Marshall, the division head of physician medicine and rehabilitation with the Ottawa Hospital, who’s studied the driving abilities of seniors; and Bill VanGorder, the chief operating officer and chief of advocacy of the Canadian Association for Retired Persons.
