초록

The purpose of the study is to suggest implications to Korean driver’s licence management system based on the analysis of Australian older driver’s licence management system. More specifically, driver’s licence management systems of two countries were compared and driver’s licence renewal, scheduled driving aptitude test, and the terms, regulations as well as processes of non-scheduled driving aptitude test were also discussed. The study has three implications. First, age criteria of sixty-five and older should be increased based on physical abilities of older drivers; and police should raise age criteria to seventy years old and scheduled driving aptitude test period should be decreased to three years; and driver’s licence renewal was achieved after the given license expiration date, penalty should be increased. Second, scheduled driving aptitude test should be given separately to older and younger drivers. Third, disabilities subject to non-scheduled aptitude test should be specifically listed and its criteria should be clearly provided; third party (police and family members) should be allowed to apply for non-scheduled aptitude test in order to ensure public safety.
