Take their licence away!

We can not be discrimitive. I understand that when a person gets a certain age their senses may dull. However, my dad is over 65 and he is a very good driver. He doesn't stop in the middle of the highway like some. The problem is drivers in general. There are too many distractions. The younger generation is driving their friends around and talking and joking not watching the road. Then there are others talking on their cell phones that cause accidents. I agree that after maybe 70 there should be a driving test taken just to make sure we are ok to drive. I also think that more restrictions are needed for the teen drivers as well. Accidents can happen no matter what age you are.

I have to laugh because I agree with you on this. The reason I agree is because I've ridden in the car with my grandmother while she was driving and I will be the first to tell you its a life changing event. After the ride is over you're just happy to be alive. I swear this woman has driven backward down a one way street before because she didn't know it was one way and she wanted to be facing the rest of the trafic as she drove. I've seen some older people literally drive on the sidewalk almost taking out mail boxes as they go. I figure if you can't see over the steering wheel then you shouldn't be allowed to drive lol.

I would say that after 70 this should be done as I know some very good drivers who are 65 plus.

Don't just yank their license away but definitely test them every year. Some older people are good and careful drivers. Younger ones are also a danger - listening to loud music, text messaging, etc. while they are driving.

I don't agree with revoking the licence only because just as there are some individuals on the road who are not fit when they are older there are just as many that are very responsible and have no problems and are good drivers but I do agree with retesting once you hit a certain age to make sure that you have the capability still to think fast when something happens and that you are not a hazzard on the road as often you will get behind someone going so slow that they are more of a hazzard on the road then not . Mnay of the older people are half blind and still taking the chance out on the road everyday and this is dangerous to all those on or near the side of the road . I do belive that having them retested to make sure they are not a liablility on the road would be an excellent idea .

Maybe a retest might be necessary every 4 years but i don't think they should have thier liscence revoked. I have to say they might drive slower than most people but there are a lot of younger people who are irresponsable drivers who are not paying attention, drunk or simply don't care.

I don't think people should automatically have their licences taken away. I think they should be retested regularly like you suggested. I wouldn't say 65, I think that's a little young, where I live, it's 80.

They should indeed be retested every year, and in fact, everyone should be retested every two years. Some old people might cause accidents like that one, but most accidents are caused by teens and young adults who drank too much and tried to drive, to impress, or something like that.

You r righ6t ,there should be age upper limit also
