And yet another innocent dies by the senior driver-and an innocent 8 yr. old. What should be done to prevent this? Should they have limited liscenses? At what age should theiy re-test? Should families
be held liable if they noticed mom or pop getting a little confused and not taking their liscense away? Should doctors be liable? Who's to blame, the seniors won't admit they have a problem. ( in most cases) I know that most are OK, but for those stubborn ones what can be done?

They could easily install a computer in a car, hooked into the ignition, that would require the 'driver' to perform a short skill test before the car will start - you know? If gramps can't get past level one on tetris, he aint goin NOWHERE!
By the way - LOVE IT:

any time of day.
Don't be backing on the rail, boy
If you can find some other way.
Safety is your goal and honor,
yes it's always true
So don't be backing on the rail. boy
go the other way on through."

I think at a certain age they should be retested to see how they are handling the roads...the times are changing and so are the drivers we should make sure they can handle the changes

i think they should retest every like 2-5 years after they turn 60 or 65 but that is my opinion
