A fatal accident at the荃灣如心酒店 (荃灣如心酒店) has sparked public concern about the physical condition of elderly taxi drivers. In the incident, an 80-year-old taxi driver is suspected of dangerous driving, which led to the death of a 35-year-old Filipino tourist. Data shows that the number of taxi drivers aged 70 or above involved in traffic accidents in 2024 has increased more than four times compared to a decade ago, raising discussions about the safety of elderly drivers. Political figures have suggested establishing a mandatory retirement age or enhancing medical check-ups, but the taxi industry is concerned about increased costs and drivers' livelihoods. The government plans to propose legislation in the first quarter of next year, expecting drivers aged 65 or above to undergo regular medical check-ups and those aged 70 or above to undergo annual check-ups. Legislators such as Ho King-hung and Tin Pak-shan have advocated for a mandatory retirement age, emphasizing the importance of passenger and driver safety, while also paying attention to retirement security issues.
