Should there be an upper age limit on driver\'s licenses?
After just getting back home after almost getting sideswiped and t-boned by two different octogenarians, I'm questioning how old people are even allowed on the road.
Should there be some sort of an upper age limit to driver's licenses? Or at the very least, more restrictions (i.e. tested every year)? I would probably set an upper limit at 65, just to be safe. These 80-year old geezers on the road are flat-out liabilities. Now yea, sure, I'm sure your 85-year old grandpa can drive just fine or whatever. But I'm just as sure there are some pretty mature/coordinated 12 year olds out there too, and they don't get to drive. I don't really support hard age-limits, but I think 16 is a pretty decent lower limit on licenses. The lower limit is presumably 16 because early teens don't have the physical/mental coordination to handle driving, especially in high-stress situations. But I don't think 80-year olds can handle it either, for the same reasons. I dunno, maybe I'm just ranting because I'm pissed off, but I really would like to see some changes. |
