answer text <p>All drivers must renew their driving entitlement when they reach the age of 70 and at most every three years after that. This provides a timely reminder to individuals to consider their health in the context of driving. To renew their entitlement, drivers must make a legal declaration that they can meet the required standards and confirm whether they have any listed medical condition. Drivers who advise the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency of a relevant medical condition will be investigated and a driving licence will only be issued if they can meet the appropriate health standards.</p><p> </p><p>The Department announced in June 2018 that it has identified older people as one of four priority road user groups which will be included in the forthcoming Road Safety statement and action plan.</p> more like this

answer text <p>By setting long term ambitions for 2040 and 2050, the Government has sent a clear signal for the UK’s direction of travel to provide industry and consumers with certainty on the transition to zero emission vehicles. The Government’s Road to Zero strategy, published in July, set out that by 2030 we want to see at least 50% and as many as 70% of new car sales being ultra low emission, alongside up to 40% of new vans. We expect this transition to be industry and consumer led, supported in the coming years by the measures set out in the Road to Zero strategy.</p><p> </p><p>There is significant uncertainty over some of the key drivers of the transition – including battery technology and new mobility services. The Government will be actively tracking market developments, looking at key factors such as uptake of Ultra Low Emission Vehicles, deployment of infrastructure, and consumer issues. We will review momentum towards our ambition by 2025, and will consider what interventions are needed if not enough progress is being made.</p>
