Re: Should there be an upper age limit on driver\'s licenses?
Yep - or as other posters have noted, at least MANDATORY real testing at some point to be determined.
Of course, if you really want to get the most dangerous drivers off the road, no liscenses until you're AT LEAST 19 - you gotta be fair, right? That's what I thought..... MM MD

Re: Should there be an upper age limit on driver\'s licenses?
I know a lot of you are joking but if you seriously want to have a blanket upper age limit on drivers without taking into account if they're still rational and productive members of society then ... I dunno where I'm going with that sentence but it's a terrible idea.

Re: Should there be an upper age limit on driver\'s licenses?
The real reason there is no limit right now is that no adults want to have to go pick up their parents to gather them for every Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.
My great-grandma lived to be 95 (b. 1897, d. 1993). She never learned to drive, as not everybody back then learned to drive these "new things called automobiles". Anyway we had to go retrieve her from the Old Folks home all the time and it sucked ldo. Mainly because all her old friends would kiss me and they smelled like moth balls.

Re: Should there be an upper age limit on driver\'s licenses?
I don't think there should be an upper limit, but I think it would be reasonable to require that people over a certain age take and pass a road test every few years (like the test 16 year olds take when they first get their liscence).
