I recently caught on the TV a report on drivers over 65. It seems that the younger generation is demanding that people over 65 take the driver’s test once again! Now why is that? Because the younger drivers feel the old timers drive too slowly.
How stupid and arrogant can they get?
If I’m not mistaken, my insurance premiums are lower than most of the younger drivers. The accident rate seems to be higher with younger drivers than older ones. I don’t see older drivers driving erratically, texting while they drive, putting on make up as they drive, or talk on the cell phone while driving. I have been hit numerous times by inattentive drivers, all young, bumping into my bumpers at full stops!
Who the heck is getting all the speeding tickets? Why are they called speeding tickets? Why the hell do you think they are given out, because you drive safely???
They don’t have the sense to slow down on slippery roads with ice, sleet or rain, they turn without warning or signals, and they jump on your tail. These are the people that want me to take another drivers test!
My suggestion to all you who think I need to take a driver’s test again, take a driver’s test yourself. Grow up on the road. The car can be a dangerous thing, pay attention when you use it, use caution, someone can get hurt. If someone is ahead of you that you feel is too slow, thank them for slowing you down, and maybe saving your life, or at least money on your car insurance.
We are old for a reason, we were careful.

There are loonies of all ages on the roads, but you make some good points. We need stronger enforcement of existing laws(cell phone use while driving is rampant) and stiffer penalties for repeat offenders.
