for 11+ years I've become convinced there needs to be an age when you have to be tested every couple years to get your drivers license. I know it would be a huge pain but geeze, it's gettin' scary around here! :willy:

:iagree: the snow birds started arriving a couple of weeks ago -- and they are the main culprit, I hate it when they stop in the middle of the road to figure out where their condo is.

Stay out of the left lane old man, and turn off your blinker. :D

Mandatory executions of anyone over the age of 55. Problem solved.

I am driving back to Orlando in a few hours, I just can't wait to get behind some old guy in a vette who doesn't know how to drive it.:D

Yeah, I don't know what color Unique Doug's vette is now. but he is out there.

I think everyone, regardless of age, should get tested every 5 years and anyone can be asked to retest if caught by the police doing something stupid or dangerous.

Drive around MA , NY and other places and see the rudeness, stupidity and such.

It's MY left lane and I'm gonna turn sooner or later! :drivingskid:

There's a form you can file with the FL DHSMV if you think somone needs a mandatory retesting.

You have to have some detailed information, so you can't just use it to harass someone who cut you off in traffic you don't know.

:iagree:

I've often thought that people need to be tested after a certain age, but this is actually a better idea. :thumbs:

I have no doubt that older drivers are in fewer accidents, they just cause them.

I'd like to see it broken down a little further.

My grandmother was fine driving until she hit about 90. She grew increasingly more dangerous from 90 until she finally gave up her car just before her 95th birthday.

My dad and his brother and sister had to fight for that one. They finally won. She's still a little pissed at them for it.

A lot of truth in that. :yesnod:

I had my Dads Doctor file a report that suspended his license until he could prove he could safely drive when he was 87. He was a danger to himself and all the kids in his neighborhood. He was pissed at me but every time I drove to his house I was sure it was the right thing to do.

You've got a point there. :dance:

Families should help more like this. :yesnod:

Years ago, I was at the birthday party for a friend of my daughter's. The child's great grandfather was there. He was on oxygen and had to be helped up, and held up, to get around. He moved very slow.

When it was time to go, I witnessed them walking him, and the great grandmother, out to the car....and helping him into the DRIVER'S seat. I said to the child's mom "You've got to be kidding me!" She said yeah, noone dares to take his license and car away. I said, I'd be worried about my grandmother being in the car with him, let alone everyone else on the roads. Crap like that is ridiculous. NONE of them thought he should be driving, and yet they let him. There is no way his reactions would have been quick enough to avoid something like someone pulling out in front of him or stopping suddenly in front of him. :willy:
