[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This recently happened in Florida. Elderly woman, man killed dining outside at restaurant. Woman not charged, because it was an "accident."

Honestly I think after 65, everyone needs to be retested every 5 years.

Hell, I wouldn't mind everyone being tested every 5 years, because lord knows there are so many people who  never should have received licenses in the first place[/quote]
[b]65? Why 65? How ridiculous.  Do you know what elderly is? 65 isn't elderly. [/b]

Btw, MV rarely turns anyone away from getting a license. Someone can be legally blind, have dementia,  Parkinsons, etc.

People drive high on weed, prescription narcotics, antihistamines.  [/quote]

Well technically 65 IS elderly, it is the age that begins the clinical descriptor ‘elderly’. There is early elderly and there is late elderly, but definitely 65 is elderly.

For me 65 fallen into a senior category but is too early for the elderly label.

I don’t think of 65 year olds as elderly. I think of that as prime years for enjoying retirement. Unless you have major health problems or had chronic substance abuse issues when younger, most of us are able bodied at 65 and able to do a lot. We plan on traveling and volunteering around then after youngest in college.

People on both sides of our family live into their 90s.

However, I do think folks should stop driving by early 80s or so. I plan on walking and using public or private transit by then. One less thing to worry about
