Most Villagers stop for stop signs and red lights, not just slow down.

I don't think a person needs to be expert in physics to know to slow down before entering a curve. Generally the wisdom of age has granted most people knowledge with time. I personally think that a 77 year old is twenty years wiser than a 57 year old in many ways, because most people continue learning and storing information. You don't need to know mitosis to understand reproduction. Or the term centripedal force to understand sliding on ice. Not all older people have dementia. Usually it has a genetic link.You know what they say about judging whole groups...And you will find that wisdom also includes people who know when they are not safe to drive.

Or to make negative statements about a certain age of people who make up most of the readers of a forum.

There is no such thing as centripedal force.

Centripetal Force

Do you mean centrifugal force?
