Prince Philip's 97 year old ass shouldn't be driving never mind causing accidents. People over 75 should need a Doctor to certify they are still fit to drive not just self certify and it should be yearly at least.

75? Really?

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[ayebydan]

yup.

that is when a clear change in reaction times happens. risks of strokes and heart attacks increase even more than before. best be safe for them and all other road users.

my type one diabetic fam get checked more often than abled drivers. better safe than deaths. if anything 75 is too high

Wow, my dad's about to turn 74, and I don't think of him as very old at all. But I guess he's outside the norm in terms of his good health and mental faculties.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[ayebydan]

Things can just change so suddenly and it is more likely to happen at that age.

I mean, my granddad still has a valid driving licence and a car in his name (taken away from him that my uncle uses) and he has dementia and can't even hold a conversation for longer than five minutes without getting lost but legally...legally he could drive. Not everyone has a family to take the keys away and keep an eye on them.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

Yeah, I guess you're right, and I haven't really come to terms with how old my parents are getting. :\

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[(Anonymous)]

He sounds like he'd pass the test easily then, so he probably has nothing to worry about even if they did start testing.

I would support re-testing all along anyway, lots of people regardless of age don't realize how bad their eyesight is getting and that kind of thing too.

It really depends on the individual! My dad was alert and absolutely still a good driver at the age of 74. He had to quit driving due to a sudden diagnosis of terminal cancer in his skull and the decline in coordination was quick. If not for THAT, he would've been a great driver had he lived. Quick reflexes and all. Whereas HIS father wasn't so quick behind the wheel once he hit the age range of 78-80 and both my dad & uncle had to force him to give up driving. :(

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[ayebydan]

....that is exactly my point. it DOES depend on the individual. So let's teach each individual beyond a certain age to make sure they are safe. I mean, we test younger drivers in the way of insurance allowances.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

75 is quite generous. I'd actually start at 60.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Damn! You can't even retire with benefits until 67 in my country. Kinda fucked up to say people have to work but shouldn't drive without a doctor's permission.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[(Anonymous)]

This 60-year-old feels she's a better driver than many a young 'un.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[(Anonymous)]

The number of accidents caused by younger drivers is actually much higher, so technically, you should start from the beginning and make every driver repeat some kind of test every year from the day they start driving.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[(Anonymous)]

The number of accidents caused by younger drivers is actually much higher,

Absolute number of accidents, or per capita?

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[(Anonymous)]

"In 2016, young people ages 15-19 represented 6.5% of the U.S. population. However, they accounted for an estimated $13.6 billion (8.4%) of the total costs of motor vehicle injuries."

https://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/teen_drivers/teendrivers_factsheet.html

Just one of many pages btw. Just google 'car accidents age'. Fatal accidents are highest in that age bracket as well.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[philstar22]

Yes.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[ayebydan]

thanks for the back up :)

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be for testing every 5 years, then every 2 years after 60, every year after 70.

Test all along! My aunt that won't admit or accept that her vision is getting blurry when it obviously is, is just as dangerous as a 70 year old even if she's 50.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY LET A 97 YEAR OLD BEHIND THE WHEEL!

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[bur]

It wouldn't be so bad if people could just swallow their dang pride. Mom's 80 this year, and is fine for the most part, but her ability to see in the dark has taken a complete nosedive. She doesn't drive at night, because her pride isn't worth her life. More people need to value their life (and the lives of others) over their pride.

Re: Controversial Opinions / Venting

[riddian]

God, yes. I read a statistic once about how most people keep driving around 5-10 years after they become a more dangerous driver. It's scary how many people are out there driving when they realistically have no business being behind the wheel of anything bigger than a golf cart, and probably not even that.

Of course, half the problem here in America is that everything is set up for cars and our public transportation systems suck, so once you give up driving you effectively give up your independence and life gets more difficult. But the inability of lots of people to admit that they're no longer good at it is also a major issue, which drives me nuts. Your pride isn't worth your life, or someone else's for that matter.
