“seniors should have annual road tests”

I had two grandmothers who hit several pedestrians their last few years of driving.

If they could go a year without hitting anybody they passed their “road test”. :-)

I don’t think poor eyesight was their issue. They just had trouble paying attention to the road and had terrible response time if a pedestrian was in front of them. They both lived in a busy inner suburb with a lot of vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

I can testify to that. I got run over in a crosswalk by a granny driving a golf cart. I bought a motorcycle with the insurance settlement.
