It should be a law that once you hit a certain age you must retake your driving test. The age I usually feel this should start at is 65. Once you are 65 you should retake your test yearly. Then, at 70 and beyond you need to retake that test every 6 months. Not only do they need to retake the test they also need to have a vision test every 6 months. For some reason most people over the age of 65 seem to have completely forgotten how to drive.
They either drive too fast and swerve everywhere or they drive way too slow and hit the breaks every 100 feet. Then you get the ones that are scared out of their pants if they have to merge onto the highway. The will literally stop in the on ramp at times (I have seen it happen more than 5 times).
Have you ever noticed that elderly women will have their seat so far up they are practically hugging the steering wheel but then they also pull themselves forward to have their chins almost touching the steering wheel?
I have found a few charts that prove my point. Drivers are the worst from 16-22 and 65+ I will share them now :)
And by 2030 almost 25% of the driver on the road will be 65+
