Changes to medical testing for driver’s license coming

The computerized program that was used to test whether or not a senior was competent enough to continue to drive has been scrapped.
Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA, Nicholas Simons says that’s good news for seniors who had complained the test was unfair.
Another change, is that the person being tested can now use their own car and Simons says that should make seniors much more comfortable…..
