There is no incentive for them to and they clearly don't, hence they're more likely to kill someone on the road
Not every young driver is reckless and irresponsible.
Statiatically more of them are than old drivers
Every single old person has slow reaction times.
My spelling is awful
Is okay
It doesn't matter if old people have slow reaction times when the old people are far less likely to kill and maim others on the road
Like it's functionally irrelevant
Whether it's experience, hormones, mental stability or what, the fact is that a 20 year old driver is more likely to kill another person by their driving than a 75 year old
That is an absolute fact
They're not functionally irrelevant? They can and do hurt people although a lot less than the youngsters most of the time.
I'm not denying that
But what you're saying is you want to target a small group of people rather than the bigger, more dangerous group
Even though it disadvantages that small group far far more
And benefits fewer
There are a lot of old people who have to use their cars to get shopping, they can't walk far enough and/or don't have cab or public transport availability to do it any other way, nor can they afford deliveries or even use the technology properly to arrange them, they probably wouldn't pass a current test because they're older and slower, but they're also less likely than 22 year old joe who passed 5 years ago to crash
My targetting of dangerous users on the road isnt mutually exclusive to the elderly. Having slow reaction times as they get older is the only thing I'm trying to talk about, I believe the current laws do not do it justice enough.
Again, completely seperate with young people and their problems. Deal with the young and the elderly both.
I dont understand what you're saying...
Tough luck? If you cant drive responsibly whether that's because of old age, drugs or alchohol. That's a You problem.
Being slow has nothing to do with responsible driving
>They probably wouldn't pass a current test because they're older and slower.
YES! That's why they shouldn't be allowed to be on the road. That's the point.
What.
Things change over time, I'm not even middle age and I doubt I'd pass the test here as it is now, the test now is vastly different from when i passed my tests
And i also formed habits which are not seen as good driving practice, but are realistic driving practice
Are you suggesting reactions times have nothing to do with responsible driving?
Que
a licence isn't a right, it's a privilege. tough shit if you lose or don't have one
Yes
Reaction times absolutely have 0 to do with responsible driving
<:what:382980756139409409>
Because a good driver drives in a way that compensates for their own reactions, as well as weather conditions and vehicle capability
Therefore whether or not you can use the breaks in time has nothing to do with responsible driving...
Correct
Do you like drive?
The distance you leave between you and the vehicle in front is the responsibility
Your reaction speed defines how close you drive
A bad driver will sit too close to stop, a good driver will give adequate space
Hitting your brakes at the right time is crucial in driving?
If older drivers aren't worse, why are their insurance rates higher?
Actuarial tables don't lie. <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>
A slow driver will allow enough stopping distance
An excellent driver rarely needs their brakes
