Doctor Speaks About The Dangers Of Elderly Drivers

[shado2428]

I AGREE WITH DR.HAAS ABOUT DRIVER TESTING BUT IT SHOULD NOT ONLY BE FOR OLDER PEOPLE BUT FOR ALL.I HAVE HAD MORE YOUNG PEOPLE DRIVING LIKE THEY NEVER LEARNED THE RULES OF THE ROAD.IF EVERYONE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RETEST EVERY 10 YEARS THEY MIGHT REMEMBER HOW TO DRIVE.I AM 51 AND I WOULD NOT MIND RETESTING EVERY TEN YEARS IF NOT SOONER.

Dr. Haas could not be more correct. Many years ago, I had to force a western state to revoke the driver's license of an elderly close relative that had been legally blind for over 20 years. "One size fits all licensing is simply a tragedy looking for a place to happen". Please, wherever you live, tell your legislators your concern ... and, if you are a senior citizen, as I am, make a responsible self-evaluation, at least annually, before you turn the key.
