If yes, now think about that happening with the accompanying confusion while behind the wheel.

I know it is controversial but perhaps there is justifiable reasoning for periodic testing and drug Rx review after a certain age.....70? 75? 80?

I would not like the prospect of losing my liscence but would accept the intent and do my best to remain able.
btk: I understand and agree with your concern for safety. However, the problem with enforcement is this government of ours doesn't know where to draw the line. As a nation we are being strangled with rules regulations and policies which as you recall Ronald Reagan said "the closest thing to eternal life is a government program.

I know many people who freely give up their driver's license when they first experience a problem. But there are situations where there are not early warnings signs and regulations can't prevent them
