Make it 55. My bf’s uncle has a head injury that makes him lose his memory he sometimes doesn’t even know where he’s going and he doesn’t follow road rules. How he got it? Funny story. He was driving drunk and he crashed into a horse stall and the horse kicked the frontal lobe area of his head.
ya and that stuff is outlawed, what’s your point? i never claimed elderly drivers were the cause of all/most accidents. i said they should be required to take yearly exams after turning 65, since mental decline is a thing and it’s dangerous to all drivers. god forbid they be responsible
you keep acting like i wanna abandon old people lol. i just don’t want them on the road if they can’t pass a driving test. not that deep. it would make the roads safer. you wanna make sure they’re not abandoned? that’s awesome more power to you. but they still shouldn’t be on the road if they’re a danger
My point is, why tf would we require them take yearly exams when there is no sign that the “mental decline” you’re bitching about is causing issues? Do we have yearly exams for the assholes that are actually causing issues in the road? I literally posted the screenshot and you’re still acting slow💀
Most people don’t have access to buses, old people can’t walk long distances, old people can’t bike, most people can’t afford DoorDash two meals a day, most people can’t afford to deliver a pizza twice a day, meals on wheels doesn’t deliver food to every old persons house twice a day
even if i conceded to the other points, you can literally get groceries delivered for free from walmart. most towns in america have a walmart. they have options lol. and i’m not saying take their license away for everyone over 65, i’m saying test them to make sure they’re still competent. you gotta take a test at 16, but why is that they only time you have to prove your ability?
As an insurance agent there’s a reason once ppl hit a certain again their rates go back up bc they are now considered a “high risk” driver again. Just like young drivers. So yeah, once they hit a certain age they should be required to retake their drivers test. I mostly say this for THEIR safety bc you get more fragile when you’re old so they’re more likely to get hurt if in an accident.
