Too many in a hurry to go no place.
Too many on meds of one kind or another.
Too many who cannot see sufficiently (I can't tell you how many times I see a car waiting to come out into traffic and then at the last minute they pull out....they waited until they could see the traffic!!!!!!!).
Way, way too many behind the wheel that should not be for their age/health/ability.

I vote for once past the age of _ ? _ (pick a number _ ? _....I say 75) there should be at a minimum, vision testing every other year.

One of the scariest things I ever heard was when my mother 87 called and said she got her drivers license renewed and it was for 8 years!!!

We always, ALWAYS, caution our visitors to drive defensively when here in TV....to always assume a driver will do what they should not do.
