I think that at the age of 60 you should have to go in and recertify annually. To avoid the inconvenience of the DMV they should have an express lane JUST for this. If you don't qualify...take the bus home!

I keep telling my wife that "if I ever get as bad as that old person, please let me know...because its time to quit driving."
Some old folks are still pretty good drivers, but the ones that look like its all they can do to remember what the key is, really freak me out.

i think they should be allowed to drive as long as they can see. Hopefully they drive slow enough that nobody ever gets hurt to serious. I don't want to sound like a punk but the last thing i want after being around forever is for someone to tell me i can't drive. This america.

most older drivers see an automobile as their personal independance.unfortunately some are stuborn beyond reason.but i understand their reasoning.after driving all their lives ,then suddenly they have to rely on other people for a ride to get a prescription or grocerys that kind of thing,they have a hard time accepting it.i'm for more testing,more frequently,for both written and driving also.i'v found i'm a little more tolarant these days but there is a limit

Very true some young idiot driver kids or worse the most all old drivers. Most young people drive like a bat out of hell with no regard to anyone.
