further strengthens my argument for mandatory testing of the old people.

ageism, ftw.
I agree 100%, I've thought the same thing for the longest time.

Well, I think there is sufficient reason to re-test younger drivers. Many not experienced enough to make good judgment. And FWIW, those drivers of any age that have a poor driving record as well.

I'm 62. Sometimes I drive too fast but I don't gather tickets. (One ticket in the last ten years). I think my skills are still sharp. Maybe not what they were when I was 25 but then I did drive much faster and was more of a threat to the safety of others than I am now. Want me to take a driving test? Any time.

My dad is 85. Still drives. A lot less now than in the past but even though his skills aren't all that sharp any more his judgment is still good. He doesn't have any habits that make his driving a threat to others but I still would like for him to take a test each year. Still, he doesn't have any true alternative to driving himself to the store or the doctor. I live 400 miles away and there is no one else to cover his needs.

Being practical, we don't have many alternatives for older people to get around. Public transportation is s joke in most of the country.

Well I'm just saying, how many young drivers do you see driving through store fronts? Not many

Yikes!!! I agree with some sort of testing above a certain age. I lost my 04 TT Roadster to a 70-year old man who ran a red light and hit me head on in his Crown Vic. Both cars plus my right knee blotto.

Not true! I plan to drift myself to death at 59 while under the influence of heroin, crack cocaine, PCP, and maybe a bottle of Jose to balance everything out
