That system might work except in the possible case of politicians or doctors.
My father flew for many years and never actually had a medical performed. As a doctor he would only go to a friend who was the flight surgeon and say,"Here sign this." In almost twenty years his medical consisted of the flight surgeon saying, "Ok!"
Politicians would be very similar... Without a medical requirement no one would want to be the one to shang-hi their drivers license. The excuse would be they were told not to drive. There is a medical requirement now but only for people over the age of 70.
My father got a notice from Motor Vehicles saying he had to get a medical to renew his license. He got the medical ,,, signed. Motor Vehicles weren't convinced and requested a practical drivers test. My father who had suffered a severe stroke refused the drivers test and he was notified his license was cancelled. They also asked he return his license so they could be sure he wasn't driving. He only complied with that when he moved into a palliative care ward.
About ten years ago I had my eyes examined. I had been wearing glasses for a while and it was time for a check up. After the examination he told me I was actually considered to be legally blind for driving without glasses. It was only when I turned 55 and my license had to be renewed that a corrective lenses notification turned up on my license even though the optometrist was supposed to notify the Department of Motor Vehicle Registration. Knowing the optometrist I suspect the notice went form his office the same day. Knowing Motor Vehicle Registration, it's a wonder it was ever added to my licence restriction.
