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

Much safer

Since statistically young drivers are much more of a danger

No again I'm not asking the elderly to pass more difficult tests. Just your normal one that everybody else passes.

But then how are they safe when their 25 with no experience or "training"

Young drivers have plenty of ways to decrease the risks they present. Get a good mentor. Dont be an idiot (no drugs/alchohol) while driving. As a beginner take it slow. Etc etc.

The elderly on the other hand cant just stop aging. They cant reverse or counteract aging in any meaningful way.

Then why is it that young drivers are the big risk factor?

Maybe they need to be made to prove better competencr

Like you're suggesting for the elderly

You can't make the argument that "oh elderly people need some way of proving they're capable drivers" without that also instantly becoming "then young drivers need it more as they're less safe"

Yes they should

And then you can extend that further, maybe revoke licensed every traffic incident

Again young drivers can do something. They're still young. Old people can not.

Personally l will never support suppression of freedoms

?

Their freedom to hurt others?

it's mostly inexperience mixed with youthful stupidity, if you just make the test harder then what are you really changing?

Statistically somewhat irrelevant when young drivers are the bigger problem

I'm not at all against making the current tests harder.

By far

Yes but this has nothing to do with young drivers

I'm only discussing elderly and their lower reaction times

You're targeting groups based on age under the guise of "safety"

Are you denying that people get worse physically and mentally as they age?

You're saying that despite the wealth of experience elderly drivers may have amassed over their years of driving, they should be subjected to additional hoops to jump through to retain their ability to drive, neglecting the fact that many absolutely depend on this and won't be able to function without their license, all in the name of the highet likelyhood that they'll be involved in a crash than someone 10 years younger

Simultanously you don't want anything to change for the younger drivers

Since you brought up youngsters, the only point I'm trying to make is the fact that young people can do a lot in order to counteract their lack of experience and recklessness whilst the elderly can literally do nothing about getting slower as they age.

Who ate significantly more of a risk factor

Are

The young

It doesn't matter if they can do something when they don't

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
