I agree, and it could work like that here. (your driver's license is only valid for a certain time) But as far as I know, you only need to retake the tests when applying for renewal if your license expired multiple years ago. Otherwise, you only have to fill out some forms.

At least old people & those who've had their license taken away need to redo their tests, which is better than nothing, but not enough in my opinion.

Yeah at the very least, they could easily make it a requirement to pass a written test at every renewal. Hell, they could do it as an online test you can do it home before you come in, I don't even care if people "cheat." Make it open book. Then at least people would have to flip through the book every few years which is better than nothing.
