I just hope that:
1. I make it to 80 years old.
2. I'm aware enough to realize my limits at that age!
There are just way too many stories about elderly drivers who should not be behind the wheel these days. This is not intended to bash any group of folks. I'm a firm believer that EVERYONE with a license should be ROAD TESTED periodically, to ensure they are capable of controlling their vehicles properly.
It seems that there are FAR more younger drivers involved in accidents than older drivers. This driver dozed off. Perhaps he did not sleep well the night before. For every story of an elderly driver who has an accident, there are dozens of stories of young drivers who have the same accident, quite often with fatalities involved.
Road testing everyone periodically is foolish! Can you imagine how much more that would cost taxpayers! This accident had NOTHING to do with controlling a vehicle. THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP! Most teenage drivers have far less control over their vehicles than most elderly drivers.
