I TRULY believe that once people reach a certain age they should have to go through some "driving" tests. Don't know what kind....but something.
When I went a few months ago to get my new licsense there was an old man in line after me. He was trying to do the eye dot test and without much luck. The lady was helping him a bit and let him pass anyways!
Of course there are also ALOT of other people who shouldn't be driving and/or should be getting retested - maybe we should all get retested every so many years!
That's how they do it in Arizona, and maybe other states, I don't know.
I think it is a great idea. I really think maybe we all should have to take a test ever 10 years or so...it wouldn't do anything but make our roads better.
