i dont think retesting should be limited to only old people. i see people every day that suck at driving, and there are people on this forum whos cars i will never get into. ---

Good point Zero, but I’m surprised to see You make it. I don’t forsee that EVER happening in this county, wehter it be specifically targeted at the old, or in a broad stroke. That is alot of manhours that the county cannot pay for. ---

the state should be able to make money on it. making people pay for the retesting every few years. i dont remember what it costs, but i do remember that it did cost me money to get my permit/take tests/get my licence. driving is not a right. people seem to think it is. the state needs to be more strict about who they let drive. ---

they make you re-new your license ever few years… why not just make it a road test to re-new your license. that would be for all ages. so its not discrimination. and you would have to pay for it. ---

I remember reading somewhere that a younger person with a b.a.c. of .08 has the same reaction time of a 70 year old. If I am not allowed to drive at .08 then old people should not be allowed to drive at all. ---

This reminds me of that South Park episode. All we have to do is close down the Old Country Buffet and then change the driving laws while they are helpless. ---

the other problem becomes that its not just the old folks who will complain if we start to require manatory retesting many sons and daughters would much rather let their 80 year old parents drive around blink and posibly kill people then have to tend to them even slightly more then they already have to do god forbid that they should have to tell their parents “your a danger to everyone on the road” … even if they run someone down and kill them on monday, they still wouldn be able to say “mom, dad, you cant drive anymore” on tuesday they would rather just let mom and dad continue driving instead of being inconvieninced even slightly more so its not just the old folks that will fight the law, its the whole 40+ crowd ---

yeah we took the keys away from my grandfather when we realized he was a danger to himself and others on the road. Today i watched some old man take about 5 min to get into his car with assistance and wondered how he could be in any condition to drive an automobile. Retesting should be mandatory every 5 years or so past 65 ---

See this is why I think we should all be driving 1980’s era F1 cars… - if you don’t have the reflexes to drive one, you can’t get your license. - No more “I drive an SUV, I’m king of the road” mentality - speed limit: 200MPH - no time for cell phones, radios or applying makeup - No room for kids, so that distraction is done away with as well. - You hit something, you will probably die, so you will drive safer [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/89-yr-old-driver-crossing-guard/2606.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/89-yr-old-driver-crossing-guard/2606.md?page=3)
