Your move nazis

They played us like a damn fiddle

Well maybe that was the fucking plan to get rid off them in the first place.

In which they’re holding their phone while driving and then call racism when they get pulled over

im assuming alot of road accidents are caused by people on their phones

i dont think you need to look up those stats to know that

Most pedestrians just look at the lights and go

Add to that the fact that the elderly can for some fucking reason drive and you have a lot of easily preventable accidents <:HonkHonk:566814473646768128>

yeah but most old people be driving at 2 mph

and most road accidents are caused by young men

deadly at least

Monkey brains

Taking away peoples freedoms because they're old isn't really a good policy

uh

on the one hand, yes

on the other hand, reevaluating their skills frequently is good

Not really, experience usually compensates for age to an extent and expectations change

It's somewhat unfair to require consistent learning through life when age makes learning more difficult in later years

The fact is a 60 year old will find it far more difficult to learn than a 20 year old

Also part of the safety issues with older people is their reaction speeds deteriorating, that is specifically an age related thing

Yes that's the only reason

They have no reaction time

By the time they see someone in front of the car they have already hit them lol

@LOGiK I was thinking like 70 or 80, not 60

also they don't need to keep learning, just prove that they can continue to be a competent driver

By what standards?

Todays, or the ones they passed with?

Because if you say todays then my argument on continued learning applied

And you're also talking about literal age based discrimination

"you're now 70 you must take a test to prove your driving competence again" would result in a stronger argument for requiring retests every 5 or 10 years or something for everyone regardless of age than just a fixed competence proving at 70

uh

yes

reflexes are indisputably proven to degrade with age

I'm not arguing for a blanket ban after a certain age although I would support more frequent checkups as people get older

if they can compensate for it with experience then good on them, as long as they're able to meet modern safety standards

^

Also what's wrong with age discrimination? Nobody gets more fit as they age. Everyone deteriorates.

Lets have more difficult driving competence challenges for young drivers then

In fact, lets ban them from vehicles over 200 hp until theyre 25
