older folks age 65 and older need to be retested to drive every 2-3 years. surprised there is no law about this.
65 is old?


Retest every 20 years then.

My car has to be examined for road fitness every single year...


Good point, eljefino. If every car has to be checked for road worthiness, why not the drivers?

Where I work they make all the bus drivers take a DOT physical every couple years. Let's just say a few didn't pass and it was the younger ones mostly.

If he's been driving for years, decades, he knows what he's doing...if he DOESN'T, he needs to be taken off the road. Period. End of story!


We should at least make them play Gran Turismo for an hour a day!

Thank god you're alive. Please refrain from putting your life in the hands of the elderly from now on.;-)

Seriously,

That old man shouldn't be DRIVING, let alone going up ramps.

Geez, when are the elderly ever going to stop having these MASSIVE egos and admit it's time to give up the keys? When they KILL?
