Are your parents still driving? How old are they?

If 65 isn't elderly, then they shouldn't be collecting social security, be on medicare, or get the aged tax deduction.

Good Lord people - just waiting to see if you all turn over your keys at 65 or 70. While there may be the occasional person of that age who is not safe, I would normally prefer to drive with them than with a 22 year old. Actually I believe they are much safer statistically than teen agers. It all depends on the individual - I have a 91 year old relative who is fine with day time driving ( and yes she has driven my teen age son).

When's your 65th birthday? We'll be happy to make sure you get checked into a home for the elderly and inform. Perhaps euthanize you so you don't suffer in your old age.

It IS elderly. The misconception is that every elderly person is a decrepit shell that needs to be put in a home.

You are either missing or deliberately ignoring what people are saying. People age 65-70+ should have to take road tests or have a doctor sign off that they can continue to drive. Not just take away their keys. IF they can drive safely after passing those tests - great.

I would suggest the same for teens and oeople in their early to mid twenties. Actualy, the 65-70 year olds are statistically less likely to cause accidents ( you can google it).

You do realize that many people at that age are in good health and can still work, go to the gym, dance, date, drive, etc.?

They're 70/mid 70s and both drive still. Neither one drives much at night, and both are pretty safe (no accidents, tickets, etc. for years and years).
