Should the elderly lose driving priveleges after a certain age?
According to studies, senior drivers have the highest rates of fatal car accidents per mile except teen-agers.

Just yesterday in STL, an 84 year old woman slammed through a school cafeteria wall, killing one student and injuring several others.

This summer, a 70 year old woman struck and killed a highway worker. The worker was on the shoulder of a closed lane. The driver was travelling an estimated 15 MPH over the work zone limit.

This morning, while heading to Walgreens to pick up a script for my wife, an elderly lady was driving in the middle "suicide" turn lane, ran a red light and struck a family waiting to make a left turn (coming the other direction) at a stoplight. Her first comment to police? "I don't know why that car was in MY lane....."

Should legislation be passed that senior citizens have to be retested at a certain age?

Poll to follow......

My mom is 56, and I already think she should be retested more often. On the other hand, my grandpa drove just fine up until he passed away in his seventies. I think it depends on the person, not the age.

See how easy it can happen?

Is that the Yes or No button?

Is that the gas pedal or the brake pedal?

I voted yes. However your poll doesn't make a lot of sense. FTR, I don't think they should automatically have their licenses taken away. I do think they should be required to do the driving test once a year after a certain age (perhaps 65).

Frankly, though, people should probably be required to be tested every few years, regardless of age. I remember passing my driver's license test and thinking, "Wait, that's it?"

That would just result in the rate of fatal crashes among the 25-30 age group skyrocketing.
Yeah, I just fill out the driving test and turn it in. As long as I get a certain percentage correct, I get my license renewed. Hell, the test is open book. For that matter, I could have someone else fill it out and I just take it to the DMV. Way too easy to get a license.

I didn't read the way the poll was worded and voted no, when after reading it I should have voted yes. I'm for testing.

Apparently I'm getting to old too pay attention.

Shit, pops is over seventy and raced cars most of his life. He can drive better right now than 99% of the people out there. I am not for blanket legislation of anything it's ****ing stupid. We have Chinese clowns out here who should have never been allowed behind the wheel ever at any age. If you can pass a driving test you should be able to drive at any age.

Right, retested yes. Everyone should have to pass a test every 10 years or so.

some elderly ran through a school wall and hit an eight year old finishing his lunch.

linky; http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/new...1?OpenDocument

celebration of the 100th day of school turned into a day of horror when a car crashed through Shiloh Elementary School, killing one student and injuring two others.

Ryan Wesling, 8, died on Monday of head and chest injuries in the emergency room of Memorial Hospital in Belleville. Two other students were treated at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Belleville and released.

School will be in session today. Grief counselors will be available for students, especially Ryan's classmates, said Superintendent Jennifer Filyaw.

Police did not release any details on the driver, an 84-year-old woman from Shiloh. Nor did they say what might have caused her to drive her blue Chevy Cavalier up East Julie Street and through the school building, tearing a hole about 6 feet wide in the wall and driving the entire width of the cafeteria.

I voted yes by the way. I don't have a problem with old people driving, I have a problem when they keep driving and shouldn't be thus killing an innocent child.

Every 10 years? I can go for that right up until about age 65. Then make it annual testing. People can deteriorate quickly. My old man is approaching 60 and he already has driving brain-farts. I know I'm gonna have to take his keys one day and I'm not looking forward to it.

The question is moot because no politician will ever have the balls to introduce such legislation. It would be career suicide.
