old people realy need to stop driving

Young people need to be tested before they can talk or post in a public forum.

I hate driving behind old people they do not pay any attention to the road and i watch this old man just run a stop sign and caused and accident

Old people aren't the problem on the road, from my observations, it's the younger generation with all the high tech gadgets. For all of you young bucks who like to talk, text, watch your gps systems and eat burgers while you're driving, just remember, some day you just might be one of those "old people" too.

Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself!!    BRAVO BRAVO

I think old people should be able to drive,but I think they should have a driving test every year to see how well they can see and drive.

Hahah but it's not just old people. I see younger people driving without stopping and not use turn signals and cut into traffic. I also see middle aged people talking on the phone, texting and putting on makeup while driving.

hey people with cell phones texting talking are just as bad so don't forget them if you want to talk about bad drivers.

[daughtytam84]

You are so right! They do need to stop going out in public all together. They think cause they're old they can do what they want and treat people how they want. They're the cause of most accidents and don't even know what's going on around them!

Some drive ok,but I think they need to have a driving test every so often once you reach a certain age.And I know we will all be at that age one day and think it is stupid to be tested,but once you reach a certain age your reflexes slow down and eyesight gets worse.You not only put other people in jeopardy,but yourself as well.

I do agree with you 100% oldbuddy.

[anubabs]

I agree they need to stop driving not just that some of them are too slow on the roads and may cause accident but also that some are way too old to be driving themself, they need younger ones to drive them around or hel get whatever it is they are needing. I heard of an elderly man who ended up in another state because he lost his way.....about
3hrs drive from where he stayed.

Can't we all just  get  long, I think everyone 16 and over has the right to drive, I do think Everyone should have to take the test every so many year's .

remember,U will be oldddd too

And when I'm old I wouldn't mind having my driving skills tested for the safety of myself and others.

Just as someone can be too young to drive you can be too old to drive also.  I have an uncle in his 80's and a few weeks ago got in an argument with his daughter who is taking care of him because he wanted to drive at night.  Luckily she has his keys so he can't drive anywhere.  He somewhat has dementia and he is in no condition to drive.  I would hate to hear he was out driving and killed himself or others because he is being stubborn and thinks he is 20 years younger when he is not.

I think there is a limit. Some old people drive perfectly fine, but others seem like they are off in lala land or something. A couple weeks ago I was waiting at a red light to turn left. There were two left turning lanes and I was in the outside turning lane. I turned left and the car in the inside turning lane went straight and ran into me.  We pulled into a gas station and the guy stood there with a dazed look on his face and kept mumbling. I was just happy that my vehicle was fine and I didn't have to deal with him because I honestly think he had no clue what was going on. These are the people that need to give up their licenses.

I think the age to get a license should be moved up. Why do all these high schoolers need to be driving to school? They do make school buses for a reason. It seems like suddenly they have a license and they need to drive to school. So in the morning when my young kids are getting on the bus, you have all these high school age kids flying around. I rode the bus until I graduated high school. There was no reason to waste gas when the bus is there any way. And for people who say they have after school things to do, there are normally buses that will take you home from that too and if not what did you do before you had a license? It is just ridiculous the sheer amount of accidents I see that involve a carload of high school kids.
