MADISON AP Suggested retesting of elderly drivers faced immediate opposition as Senate hearings opened on Gov Warren P Knowles highway safety plan. Republicans attacked requiring road tests for drivers over 66 every four years plus drunken driving tests and a 21 drinking age. Knowles argued the bill addresses a life or death issue though some senators warned of turning older drivers into prisoners on their porches. Additional provisions included driver education as a license condition for under 18 and stricter fines. Police objected to a 100 officer increase in the State Highway Patrol.
