As it sits now you can get a drivers license at 16 and never have to be tested again your entire life as long as you never get a suspension no matter how lousy the habits you acquire over the years. My father had terrible driving habits, but kept the same license for nearly 70 years. He only had to stop driving when he went blind. If he had been tested every ten or twenty years his bad habits wouldn't have gotten as bad when he lost his license for awhile.
Personally I think everyone should face a suspension periodically and have to drive anyway. Let me tell ya..when you're driving under a suspended license you really think about speed, turn signals and so on ESPECIALLY is you see a cop within a few miles in any direction.. This is from some years of experience in the subject at hand.

I've been advocating for years to test at 60, 65, 70, and then every other year after 75. Macular degeneration, cataracts, etc, there's just too many health issues at those ages. And there's not a lot police/family can do.

We used to have this one lady who came into the office. In her 70s. Drove everywhere. She couldn't tell who people were from 5 feet away. The police got her license revoked, a relative who didn't want to deal with her got it reinstated with a phone call.

As to the op, my company does t even offer the device. Personally, I would t want one as I live in a rurale area and nobody drives the speed limit.
