Why Elderly Drivers Are Dangerous

Introduction
Ever get behind a car that's going like twenty miles below the speed limit? And when you actually get up the courage to pass the driver and you look in the window, who do you see? An "old person" crunched over the steering wheel not even noticing that you are passing. I love the elderly. I just think that they are not meant behind the wheel of a car. Maybe a re-evaluation test should be taken every so often once you reach a certain age. Or maybe their licenses should just be invalidated. The fact is that people's senses deteriorate with age. Reaction time is one of the most important senses for driving.

What I Think Should Be Done
I think that regulations for older drivers should be implemented. After a driver reaches 70, they should have to be re-examined each year they decide to continue driving. And after the age 85, they should not be allowed to drive. Good transportation should be provided for the elderly after the age 70 even at a small cost. And if you're an elderly person, it'd be wise for you to ride with family or friends when possible for your safety and the safety of others on the road. With age come wisdom, but also deteriorating senses.
