Collision Involvement Programs

What happens if I am involved in a collision at my age?

The ministry has programs for drivers of all ages who were involved in a motor vehicle collision. These programs require drivers to pass road tests to keep their licence.

There is a specific collision program for older drivers.

If you are aged 70 or older and you were in a collision as a driver, and at the same time you were charged with a traffic offence and later convicted (for driving improperly), you will have to pass the 3-part driving test to keep your licence. This includes:

  • Vision test
  • Written test, and
  • Road test (includes expressway).

A letter will be mailed to you informing you about what to do. You don't have to get tested until you receive the letter. The tests are free and you can take the tests again if you don't pass the first time.
