Unfortunately it's not the case in France.
When I had my car accident, the old lady (over 80yo!) who drove into me be not stopping at a stop sign said "oh I'm sorry but usually there's no one at this time and day" and from the state of her car I wasn't the first to literally cross path with her...
Many old people have trouble with roundabouts. Not long ago a grandpa stopped in the middle of one to let me, "good thing" it was a small one on our little town. I was shocked, moving my arms around trying to let him know it was dangerous and to move on he seemed to humph when I didn't accept "his offer"
At least a sight check should be mandatory. Before he started to lose his mind my grandpa was still driving... his sight was probably at 50%. The car knew the way, he'd say...
