I'd like it to be a bit more often than that for professional drivers actually. A full on driving test each time might be a bit excessive, but some kind of regular "human MOT" would be good.
In particular I am thinking of that bin lorry driver in Glasgow who "blacked out" behind the wheel.
I would support mandatory re-tests every 10 years for class B licenses, every 5 years for B+E, C and D, and class B every 5 years for drivers aged 60+. An recently-issued eye-test report should be a pre-requisite for re-tests.
