Cars mean freedom to all of us and the thought on not driving is more than most can handle, including me. At the very least maybe we can get a law requiring an elder driving test after they kill someone. Before everyone starts getting defensive, yes I would also require a road test for a 20 year old found negligent in a vehicular death.
I’m 55 and I would be naïve to think my reflexes are what they were when I was 30.

In Illinois you must take a driving test when you reach 75. In addition, eye test and written rules of the road exam. Florida test?
