On the face of it the headline sounds bad:
"Older drivers won't get penalty points for running red lights*"

However, they must take a test to evaulate whether they are still fit to drive and could lose their license if not, so I suppose it is better than giving them points and allowing them to continue.
It's a proposal at this stage.
