There should be annual driving tests for people over the age of 65 since they lose their eyesight and then shiat like this happens.

They also need to have better eye tests, like switch them out after every person. My grandma and her friends are notorious for sending in someone with good eye sight and having them memorize the chart. Then they all go in and repeat what their friend said and get their licenses. The system is broken.

I'd even volunteer for driving test every four years until 65 and then one every year afterwards. I'm not a bad driver so I have nothing to worry about.

ThrobblefootSpectre: I don't disagree about testing for older drivers. But in Fark threads about how bad older drivers are, it helps to keep in perspective that teenage drivers are even worse. If we mandate special testing or requirements for seniors out of concern for public safety, then we should also mandate special testing and requirements for anyone under 25.

In our state teenagers require yearly tests until they are 18. Also, until they are 17 they cannot have anybody under the age of 18 in their vehicle while they drive and at 17 they can have one other person under 18 in their vehicle. The fines are like $300-$400 per offense. The cops around here enforce it pretty heavily too, enough that a teen wrote to our local newspaper saying how his rights were being violated. Since the laws have only been around a year or so I couldn't tell you if it is working, but I noticed less teenage crash deaths in the paper.

I wouldn't mind all citizens having to retake the driving test at least every 4 years. As it is, if you renew before your expiration date you never have to take the test again. There are some farktards I would like to see off the road and I guarantee they can't parallel park. Unfortunately, in place like my town, we don't have a good enough public transportation system to accommodate those people who lose their licenses. Maybe that would be incentive to not be worthless anymore.

austin_millbarge: BOO HOO, someone needs to tell this punk that driving is not a right, it's a privilege.

Yeah, pretty much what everyone in the comment section told him...except not as nicely. The only ones that came to his defense were other teens. It was pretty hilarious.
