I for one have been in favor of mandatory driving skills tests when seniors reach a certain age. I realize a community like ours where so many of our residents and seniors are licensed in other states it may be impossible to monitor.
I'm also in favor of stiffer penalties for talking on cell phones or having pets in the driver's lap while operating an auto. We are driving cars, not in a phone booth or sitting in our favorite chair so fluffy can snuggle up.
