  1. After age 75 you should have to take a written and driving test at least once every two years. At 85 you should have to give up driving.

    1. If I were in that age group I'd be for 100% for a written and driving test every two years and I'd do it. If I'm not cognitively impaired and can still drive safely, why wouldn't I? You?

  3. Is it really worth killing someone to still drive? Give it up!
