    Thank you. I have been stuck behind too many elderly drivers either not paying attention or just plain confused. Most I believe are truly afraid of hitting someone, and drive slow to help lessen the impact

    70 and over is a bit more realistic but I agree

    60 is the new 50 so yes I would agree with the person up there 70 is more like it. I have elderly clients 75+ at work who still drive and I can't even imagine what they would look like on the road because it is frightening!

    That sounds like a good suggestion and actually something I have discussed before. Its inevitable your reaction gets slower with age and that could get dangerous, also annoying when they drive slow to compensate (but that's still better than crashing). Its actually obvious people should get tested again either after a certain age or routinely with a certain time between (maybe like 10 years)

    yes, women who have gotten into more than 8 accidents should be too. Im tired of feeling like im about to die whenever i get in the car with my mom! When i really do die its gonna feel like it happened 500 times before.

      I agree but regardless of gender. Too many accident may indicate "you" are the problem
