With a population of 140,000 and an average age of 67, if this were a real issue, the accident and death count would be enormous. It's not.

Are there some who should not have a license to drive? Sure, but they cross all ages and all manner of lack of skills. And what about those who have legal orders not to drive but do so any way like DUI convicted? They too cross all age groups.

I'm 71 and frankly what I watch out for are those who never drove a car until they moved to TV and do not have the lifetime of experience driving like most former midwesterners. As I said before, always drive defensively and trust your own skill set. If you can't trust that anymore, then by all means turn in your license. But I would never force you to.
