Driving License at 100 Years Old? Is There Actually a Maximum Age to Drive in Portugal?

In Portugal, there is no maximum age to drive light vehicles in category B, but drivers must renew their license at 70 years old and, subsequently, every two years. From the age of 60, it is mandatory to present an electronic medical certificate, and from 70 years old, a detailed report of clinical history is required when the evaluation is not done by the attending physician. It is not necessary to repeat the driving test to renew the license. However, there are specific limits for professional categories: drivers of passenger transport vehicles (categories D1, D1E, D and DE) must stop driving at 67 years old, as well as drivers of CE vehicles with a mass exceeding 20 tons.
