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.

What is the percentage of accidents in The Villages caused by individuals with those conditions? For that matter, throughout the country? Answer is nobody knows. Regardless, now people over an arbitrarily set age should be tested for these conditions? How about testing everyone for high blood pressure because those having it are more likely to have a stroke while driving? Or testing for narcolepsy? The list of such medical is endless. Now throw in psychological issues. Sounds identical to the rational of gun control advocates.
