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.

I disagree

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

I cant tell if hes trolling or not. I pray not.

And if you're talking about needing to use an emergency stop, yeah, such things happen when caused by other drivers

I don't think he drives

In which casr they're at fault

Yeah

Okay do you drive?
