Senior citizens should be off the roads! Anyone over the age of 65 that cannot handle the responsibility of driving a vehicle should not be allowed to drive. To weed out these people every person once they reach that age should have to retake their written and road driving exams that year, and every year after that. This will dramatically minimize the amount of accidents caused by the elderly. My grandfather is an example of a bad driver over the age of 70. He is 78 and still drives although I do not believe that he should. He had a bad work accident (not involving a vehicle) about a year and a month ago that has affected him greatly. He hurt his arm really badly and now it is even hard for him to turn the key, or put on his seat belt imagine what he's like driving it. For instance one time when he was driving me out to my dad's house he was driving about speed limit, but on the wrong side! He was driving on the left had side of the road maybe he thought he was in Europe? I don't know what he thought, but all of a sudden we met another vehicle and grandpa wasn't moving over. It wasn't until the other vehicle was only _______ feet away from our truck that he moved other almost colliding with it. Luckily no one was hurt, but that experience could quite easily have ended differently. From now on when my grandpa is taking me out to the farm I drive! Most senior citizens that should not be driving do not think that they are bad drivers. They may think that they have gotten worse as the years have passed, but in actuality their driving is dangerous. These people need to be proved to that they should not be on the roads as drivers but only as passengers. If retaking their road test is the only way to do this than that's the way it should be.
