If neither their vision, their reflexes and mental capacities are impaired, then no problem. I think licenses should be reviewed after so many years at any age, actually, to make sure people remember the rules of the road years after taking the test. Some people in my city seem to have forgotten what a walk signal means, and not necessarily the older folk! I almost got hit a number of times by senior citizens while walking, but the funny thing is, the two times I did get hit, it was by someone in their 20s or 30s who just wasn't looking where they were going.

About the same way I feel about young tiny people driving cars.

Assuming that their advanced age would make them a danger, I do have a problem with the elderly driving any car, regardless of size. Yet I feel safer that they drive smaller cars that would do less damage to those that surround them. The last thing we need is a twitching and visually impaired senior citizen driving a behemoth SUV.

I just about got hit by a number of them when I was living in Florida. Watch out for them, cuz they sure as hell aren't watching out for you! There have been studies done on old people that shows that if something unexpected crosses their field of vision, they literally can't see it. I mean, like, the cells in their eyes don't even register the sight, much less send a signal to their brains. When they say they don't see you, they mean it! Be careful for your own sake--they can't see well and their reaction time sucks. They need to be nicer to people while they can still drive so that when they get old and decrepit, somebody else can drive them around and they don't have to rely on their own shoddy driving skills.

how do you feel with tiny young people with a cell phone stuck in their ear driving, scarey huh. old people have just as much right to ride these roads as young people do. never hear of an old person running into the *** end of a car with a cell phone still stuck in their ear.

Most of the bad drivers I see are middle aged or teens. As long as the tiny old person is safe, uses blinkers and doesn't cut people off, then I'm cool with them.
Bad drivers aren't limited to age or gender.

I think that once you hit 65 you should be tested every year. The amount of times I have seen old people who struggle to walk, see or breath unaided get into long cruiser Cadillac thing and pull out soooo far into traffic before making a turn, its very scary.

They're OK since they're easy to spot...just look for a seemingly driverless Buick stopped in the left lane of an interstate trying to make a right turn across 4 lanes of high-speed traffic to take the exit.
