It’s not about anyones freedom of the open roads, Driving is not A RIGHT it is a previledge, and when you start to be irrisponsible then it should be taken away from you.

I think re-testing evey 5 years or when you have to renue your licence. All drivers have their bad habits over time. And a refresher would help people see how far from driving laws they have gone. How many of you know the safe stopping distance in the rain?

We just get complacent over time and all guilty of it.

My grandmother is 80 years old and still drives and has never had an accident. I have worked in the eye field for the past 11 years you have to take a test and have your VISION checked by an Optometrist or Opthamologist. They then sign the form or dont for the DMV… People of alll ages get distracted and cause wrecks. Not just senior citizens!!!!!!

ok, maybe it is wrong to demand people lose their driving licenses after a certain age. but i do believe they should have to take a driving test after a certain age, and then maybe yearly. because as age hits sometimes their instincts tend to fail them rather quickly. same as young people have to take a drivers test to get theirs. i recently had my car totaled by a sweet 84 year old woman, one month later she totaled sumone elses car. she was very easy to take a liking to, and had the best of intentions, but it still stands their needs to be precautions, what if she killed a child? dont take their independence away, but maybe test their ability to keep it.

How many innocent people do the elderly have to kill or injure before we take their driving privilege away.

How many accidents have happened already this year total?
How many were elderly and how many were not?

Better Get your facts before you say all elderly need to lose their licenses,
If the facts are checked and we take away the license of the group who
have the worst driving records, it very well may be YOURS.

OK if you think that people over the age of 65 should have their licenses taken away what about people under the age of 21 or 25….I mean come on people seriously quit being ignorant…my grandparents are almost 80 and still drive excellent as a matter of fact they drive better than us younger folks….so therefore if anyone needs their licenses taken away it should be the younger people!!!!!!

first of all thank god noone was hurt bad..But my father is 77 years old and still drives better than most people on the road…..A lot of people are saying take their driving privelege away when you get to a (__) age but when you get to that age and yours is taken away you will say it is not fair and get mad if they wont let you keep driving. EVERY DRIVER IS DIFFERENT!

My parents are well into their 60s and have NOT had an accident! It could happen to ANYONE of ANY AGE who is distracted! I could see having our senior citizens retake a driving test at a certain age….but taking their keys is taking their life away, sheesh! Lighten up!
