hasn't driven in a long, long time. He's in his 60's, and makes suggestions while I'm driving that, most times, aren't in good judgement. I drive every day. I think about where I'm going, what lane to get in, and look in the rearview and side mirrors, also all around me. I'm 17 years younger, and feel I'm better equiped to deal with sudden changes. What do you think?

If my friend SIGNS the rental agreement- do you think with the information I given above, this person is a good driver, and should be allowed, by me, to drive.

No..............
While variability increases with age, most people experience a slowing of reaction time with age, and many also experience other changes in cognitive function, some more serious than others.
Better safe than sorry............

It's been a while, but the last time I rented a truck, all drivers had to be named on the rental contract. If not named, then they were not covered under the insurance.

..The person that signs the rental agreement on a rental truck is responsible for the safe operation of the truck.....allowing someone else drive the truck withpout the owners permission is really asking for trouble should you get into an accident..or possibly get pulled over for a moving violation!!

If the person hasn't driven for a long time, I sure as hell wouldn't let them drive a rental vehicle regardless if they sign the rental agreement or not. Are you asking for an accident? You should drive the vehicle yourself.
