What do yall think? And not just a simple renewal license test. A full fledge driving test to see if they are competent drivers and instructors must give them the said bias as they would give to a teenager getting his driver's license.

Why anyone only has to pass once, at 16, is a great mystery.
Actually, it's not a mystery at all: Revenue is more important than ensuring competence. Incompetent drivers create more revenue, anyway, so it's in the state's best interest to not care.

It's fine. Age discrimination is fine if it can be justified for health reasons. There's a constitutional case on this very issue of a police department that required its officers to retire from patrol duty at a certain age (I think it was 65). This discrimination was held constitutional because of the health risks associated with older people and the inherit dangerousness of police work.

The test, yes. License still needs more frequent renewals, for address/identity verification.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

that's employment law, which is its own thing

although I'm pretty sure the same logic could ultimately apply here
