It seems that this is a common discussion. ��Is there an age that people should not be able to drive?� �I can tell you that if I was to ask that question to my grandmother or my wife�s grandmother, I would be walking away with some form of injury. �Nevertheless, it is a topic that needs discussion.
I read an article from the Asheville Citizen Times this morning discussing the topic. �The article noted a number of serious car accidents in the area involving elderly drivers. �But is there anything we can do?
Here I Go Down The Slippery Slope of Talking about Elderly Drivers
In my experience, most elderly people are good drivers. �Just like there are exceptions for young people, there are exceptions in the elderly population. �The human body naturally slows down as you age. �Reflexes, blood flow, and every thing in between. �Most people begin driving slower as they age. �Slow driving can be just as hazardous as speeding. �In many areas, there are minimum speed limits that must be met to be on the roads.
With all of that said, can we really police all elderly drivers? �Presumably, they must pass the same driving tests we must pass to obtain a driver�s license. �Hopefully, the elderly people or a caring family member is making sure that medical care is adequate. �I just don�t think there is a way to police the problem��if it even is one!
