Should There Be A Cut-Off Age For Older Drivers?

LOL @ Defee!...

I remember I rode with my grandma to church when I was a teenager ....when she was driving on a busy main street and the good thing is..it was only 25 mph....she was driving pretty slow but then sudden she was trying to get on the highway but she went on the wrong way!....I was screaming ' GRANDMA YOU'RE IN THE WRONG WAY! ' While a truck was coming down the hill toward her car.... :shock: ....

I should have brought my bottle of asprin with me! :|

She did backed-up and tried to turn around , everytime she tried to turn her car around she thinks it not enough room so she keeps backing- up ..while the guy in the truck was very patience waiting for her turn the car around ...it was soo embrassing :Oops: even though I love my grandma so dearly...but, honestly she can't drive! :|

I assure you its a true story! She is a bad driver really!! Whenever we go out of town in her car, my exhusband or his brother or me drive on the highway cuz we are afraid of her driving...*shudders*...(thank god, im outa her life since i divorced her son!) LOL! One time, i saw it myself, i was driving down the street and saw my ex mother in law's car ahead and she had the damn big casserole dish on top of her car!! she dang forgot to put it inside her car so i honked and honked but she, being hard of hearing, didnt hear me honking and then the damn casserole rolled off the car when she went up the hill and splattered all over the road! damn crazy biddy! :crazy:

honest with yall, i dont know if u dont agree with me abt that..

i think not abt wait 65 age to not drive.. but my point is DEPEND on the old people who has plms health early before 65, or eyes look not good see while drive.. or whatever.. i think that not allow the old people not drive cuz of health plms, u know what i mean???

As matter of fact I do Tweetybirdgirly!...I feel the same way as you do...I don't think older people should drive if heath problems or vision ..but that my opinion!...
 
Yeah i think people over 65 should be tested yearly to check their eyes and a little driving test wouldnt hurt either to make sure they can DRIVE!..Ive seen a lot of senior citizens just absolutley cannot drive period!! like my ex mother in law! but she still drives..so people look out when she is driving!! clear the streets and highways!! gangaway! :scatter:

Ohhhh...is that why you stop going to church dear? Cuz you couldn't find any other way to go??? But that sure is funni, yet AT the time, it must have been scary and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarrassing too! Which grandma are you referring to dear? Just so that I'll keep my eyes open for that particular grandma weavin' her way out on the streets.... :laugh2:
 
Depend on their mental and physical health...

Got another story about my ex mother in law's driving..ya ever ride with someone who keeps her/his foot on brakes all the time? Holy moleys, this one does, she keeps braking and i always felt like im gonna fly thru the window!
We must look idiotic cuz we kept bobbing back and forth ..she is a nervous driver and if she sees something that dont look right (in her mind!!) she brakes hard! *screeeeech*.........*what was that? a racoon?* I went uhh no i didnt see anything! (seriously!..its her mind!)... :dizzy:
 
I am really scare to ride in the car with my grandmother or grandfather.. They scare the shit out of me when they are driving... :shock:

Otherwise, I hate driving on Education car when I attempt driving increase little speed, somehow instructor stammped brake harder.. I drove sqeeesszzh stop.. I said wha.. how stop? Instructor was fury and bark'n me.. I said "Wha for stop?" how do tha?. He showned me front passager seat has extra brake.. I said, FUCK OFF.. Instructor send me office.. I have to right explaination reason why not safety for my driving if happeds break my neck.. I gonna sue'em instructor.. G'thing, Release me as free bird. ((chuckles)) that quite remind me about it..
Have you done like this b4 ?? *Wonder'n 'bout u!"
 
my grandma is now no longer driving -- she made an written agreement with all 3 of her surviving girls (my mom and her 2 sisters -- the 4th passed on years ago) that upon her 89th birthday she will give up her car -- the car was given to my nephew which was a perfect timing cuz his used car was starting to fall apart
