How to renew your driving licence entitlement at the age of 70 and over
If you are a paper driving licence holder you will be automatically sent a D46P application form 90 days before your 70th birthday from the DVLA.
Complete the application form ensuring that all the relevant questions are answered and enclose original documentation confirming your identity and a passport style colour photograph.
Identity documents and photograph criteria
If you are a photocard driving licence holder you will be sent a D46 reminder application form 90 days before your 70th birthday.
You will need to complete the application form ensuring that all the relevant questions are answered but there will be no need to enclose any identification or photograph.
If your name has changed since your last licence was issued complete the application form and enclose original documentation confirming your change of name. There is no need to supply a new photograph. There is also no fee required for these applications.
To renew previously held C1 or D1 entitlement, whether full or restricted, or if you intend to drive minibuses on a voluntary basis, you must enclose a D4 medical form completed by a doctor in support of your application.

Look at your licence.
Apply for renewal - being 74 has nothing to do with it.
It is not so much the older drivers who are a risk on the roads
but the young reckless ones.
Being on the road for one day observing confirms this.

I believe that in some states , after a certain age ( which is set by your state) you are required to take a driving test on a yearly basis. Check with your state's local DMV office to find out if there are such requirements in your state and at what age it starts at.

Go to your local post office they will give you the relevant form and help you to fill it out and send it off for you, this will cost you £4 for them to do this for you plus the fee for your new licence. ( Cannot remember the fee off of the top of my head) You will also need to show them your passport. You will need to provide an up to date passport size photograph. Once the post office has sent your application form off for you, you will receive your new licence in about two weeks. All the best. :o)

When you pass 65yrs old you should re-sit your test but unfortunately we don't have that law yet, but at your age I would be thinking of putting my feet up because there are too many old people out there causing accidents,

It's to prove you're still capable and safe driving. There are many elderly people (and some not so elderly) who shouldn't be driving for various reasons e.g. slow reaction times etc. If you are OK driving then there's nothing to be concerned about.

I think you should get someone to drive for you. Like a licensed grandchild or someone you feel safe driving with.
