Should old people be able to drive?

A little backwards but fine Lila. With my experience, a lot of people in many age brackets especially ages 30-50 should have their licenses revoked and be forced to walk as a pedestrian for an entire year! Many of these fools couldn't drive right and all they do is just focus on themselves and not the laws and safety of the road! You see it bright as day in their driving, their risks, their being on the cellphone everytime they drive, their crashes on the freeway, their rubbernecking and continued crashing in the area of an accident, and I can go on! In fact a lot of these bozos don't see driving as an earned privilege anymore! Oh, no no no! Its a right despite how poor or careless one drives! GRRRR!! And some are so deluded I wouldn't doubt they see it as the 11th commandment. I hate when everyone says "the statistics say, the statistics say" $&%&! statistics! I am virtually a flawless driver. No fault accidents, no speeding, no careless action, observant at all times. People I mentioned in the first part of my rant can't even do ONE of those in my list. So if the states are gonna start pulling licenses, start with the cellphone yakking, not looking when changing lanes, self important, rule breaking, rubbernecking soccer mommy drivers and their I own the road and no one else matters backwards husband drivers.

I totally agree, the young kids are just as bad. I called the cops on my cell phone the other day cause two guys were racing each other down the street, cutting people off, and running lights. I reported there licence plate number, and the dispatcher said they already had somebody on the way out. Racing is a big problem here because I'm like five minutes from the college, and the highschool.

I agree, maybe a test like every three years, and then every year when your 55. Oh, and maybe every year for the young ones too.

What are you talking about?? I'm getting older by the minute:) And I adored my Gramie, but she couldn't drive!

Your right! I'm ammending my statement, I don't think there should be a specific age, but I think that at a certain age they should have to retake the hole driving test. Old to me is like 50-55 LOL:)

I understand what your saying but I don't think that potato chips should be enough to let someone that can't see anymore drive. I do realize that they need to get places still so maybe we could start some kind of senior citizen bus thing. And I'm not a little girl just a few years from thirty..

Thats hilarious!!! The eventual left!!:)

Thats true, I know that the accident level is much higher among younger kids than it is older people. But I think they need figure something out, shut I don't want an old person cutting me off cause they can't bend their neck far enough to see me, nor do I want some kid cutting me off cause he's racing the car next to him! Cars, and insurance costs way to much!! LOL..

LOL, I bet you would find some crazy people!!

I think if they can still drive great I hope I can then, but there comes a time when ya just need to back away from the drivers seat!!:)

Thats my problem, I don't think there should nessesarly be an age limit but I think once you get to a certain age you should have to start taking the driving test again.
