Someone almost kills me, I ride up next to them to give 'em the stare, realize they're DWC, shrug my shoulders, smile, and ride off.

you know what's great? the town i live in is absolutely full of college-aged asian drivers. there's a 50/50 chance that you're going to die just by walking out the door.
it's not uncommon to see a car parked half up on the sidewalk in campustown.
Pandora said:Yeah that's pretty much how I feel about it. I think once you hit a certain age you should have to have a doc's letter to renew your license or something. My grandfather was involved in 4 accidents that we knew about. We later found out that it was more like 8. He stopped telling the family about his wreaks because he was afraid we'd take the car away from him, which of course we did. We only found out about all this after my mom found a letter from his insurance company canceling his coverage. Course then he just started driving his lawnmower.
The only thing that gets hard about that is what is the "certain age" that we should test people?
Especially in cases like this, I think simply acknowledging that there could be a problem with the driver and investigating is enough. No point in going through too much extra effort. Let them drive until evidence shows they can't. I'd be willing to guess it was not this guys first "accident."

True. Perhaps if we had a system where your driving ability was reviewed after you have an accident. Perhaps if insurance companies made it a regular practice to initiate an investigation. After all, they cancel people's policies all the time for driving records. And if more states enforced their insurance laws better, people wouldn't be able to get a license without their insurance. Maybe people shouldn't be able to buy cars without a license?
See my great grandmother lived in an assisted living facility and it was more like an old people dorm than anything else. Now out and out nursing home, fuck that. Kill me now.ChikkenNoodul said:I've been in enough nursing homes, even luxury ones, to know that I'd rather expire in a cataclysic video poker accident than go into one of those places.

that time and effort would make our insurance premiums skyrocket. that would make driving more of an elitist activity because it still wouldn't prevent those with traffic records from being on the road, and would make those who had clean records but not enough money unable to drive.Pandora said:
as far as geriatric driving goes, laws vary by state as to the screening of licenses vis a vis age, but stuff slips through the system all the time. my great aunt in RI failed her eyesight test at the DMV, called her optometrist and basically paid him off to call the DMV and told them her eyesight was fine. she kept her license. of course she is 92 and definitely suffers from dimentia/alzheimers, and thankfully she's in an assisted living community and OFF the roads.

it's always sort of depressing when you have to go to a nursing home to visit someone.
you don't want to be there, and you know everyone there just wants someone to talk to.
unless they're batshit insane, which seems to happen to a lot of old people.

I think the elderly should have to retake their test every 2 years after 70.
I know it might be a pain, but it's not like they are busy. My grandmother paid $0.25 for license back in the 20s and never had to take a test again. She drove into her 80s. That's just not right.
