With so many old people driving through kids, people in general, walls, windows and doors I'm stoked with your post Psyber, well done. Why not get a few dead relatives on the road and encourage that while you're at it too. You're a credit to society.
I'm not trying to get into the debate about old age drivers - because my mum is shocking! However, with new cars, they have so many features which stop such incidents Wegs, I don't think we should tar everyone with the same brush.
Driving is something people my parents age hold dear to them because it means they have independence. I agree, you need to know when to give up. My mum should because she drives an old car. I'd feel better for people around her if she was in a new car which had the senses built into the car.
BTW, she's a shocking driver, but has been for 30 years.
