[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know who causes most of the traffic fatalities in the US - men under 25, but yeah Pick on the old people. [/quote]

This point has been brought up several times but no one seems to want to comment on it. If people want to advocate for testing older people every year then they should support doing the same for MALES of certain age groups, as they have the highest fatality rates.

Males under the age of 25 were literally just tested/evaluated within the last decade.

Drivers over the age of 75 haven't been evaluated in  50 years![/quote]

Holy crap, when you put it that way, it really is terrifying that they are still on the road. [/quote]

PP you quoted here.  It really is!  And actually, I did the math wrong--for most of them it's 60 years (assuming they got their license at 16.)

I am 46--I haven't had to take any type of test or evaluation since I was 16--30 years ago!   I moved from the state I got my license (CA) to VA almost 16 years ago.   To get my VA license, I just had to submit some paper work, pay a fee, and have my photo taken.   I didn't have to take a test or have my driving evaluated--even though some traffic laws are different in CA compared to VA.  That's actually not a good thing.[/quote]

If your theory is correct, males under 25 should be the safest on the road having been most recently tested. I doubt that's true.[/quote]

Males under 25 are some of the most skilled drivers but they take unnecessary risks that result in higher numbers of crashes. Someone who hits the gas instead of the brake is a completely unqualified driver who lacks even the most basic skills of driving. [/quote]
