CasperImproved: I don't give a fark what they think.

If you can't pass an annual drivers test (including the actual driving) at the age of 65, you should have your keys taken away from you.

If you can't understand that? You shouldn't be on the road at all.

If they can't pass the test, how will they remember they can't still drive?

Good.

Winters are hell down here in Yuma, Arizona because of the old drivers. Earlier, I was behind someone who came to a stop while making a right turn. Nothing blocking the path. I waited a bit, then honked.

He gave me the finger.

It's just a matter of time before that guy hurts himself or others.

I spotted this in town a few weeks ago:

When I die, I want to go out peacefully, in my sleep like dear old grandpa not screaming in fear like the passengers in his car.

The Troof hurts: FizixJunkee: Yeah, everyone should have to take a cognitive test as well as retake the actual driving exam on a regular basis.

And get drug tested while we are at it. Amirite?

Only if it's etiquette.

Suckmaster Burstingfoam: goatleggedfellow: Suckmaster Burstingfoam: Wow, if only you could administer a cognitive test to determine whether someone is allowed to own guns. Like, anyone exhibiting psychosis e.g. belief in government conspiracies, lizard people, or Biblical creation.

I just solved your stupid gun problem, USA.

Guns in the home are significantly more likely to end up accidentally killing family members than killing criminals. It's a self-limiting problem.

In fact, legalize bigger guns and maybe those people will wipe themselves out.

Awesome, America. Good to see you moved on from that school shooting thing so fast. I guess it gets easier each time...

America is an experiment. Or it used to be. The only experiment we're running now is trying to validate Lord of the Flies on large scale.

Sun Lakes and Ocotillo in Chandler is the same. I had so many close calls every year, especially in shopping center parking lots, I just decided to shop elsewhere when that time of the year came along. Very glad I don't live in the area anymore.

I'm slow tonight, so someone enlighten me...

Road tests on 80 year olds = age discrimination.
Senior citizen discounts = not age discrimination?

I am fine with this. We're not saying they MUSTN'T drive, we're just saying they should prove they CAN.

Road-test ME when I'm 82. I won't be offended. We can even play Justin Bieber on whatever the classic rock radio station is at the time.

Same goes for keyboards. Some people wander away from the subject and start spouting off at the mouth. They are truly lost.
