following that? I'm writting a paper on elderly drivers and if it should become maditory to re-take road tests. The purpose of my paper is not to discriminate against the elderly. Personally I am in favor of re-tests starting from when a driver first gets their license; slowly increasing in frequency as they get older to account for the potential decrease in cognative abilities. Also maditory re-tests in cases relating to frequent accedents and violations at any age. Finally having a limits set on certain elderly drivers similar to graduated licensing. This would insure that elderly drivers who aren't perfectly healthy can still drive and keep their independence while accomidating for certain deficiancies. ie.) May only drive at night, or not during rush hour.
I know that soley classifing people based on their age group is inappropriat, and so should you. If your going to answer don't be like (old people shouldn't drive 'cause they're senile) not all old people are senile and it is a proven fact that healthy senoir citizens are safer drivers than any other age group.

What do you think? Please be civil I don't need this getting out of hand
