Should driving tests be mandatory once you reach a certain age?

[ronnie mund]

Should annual driving tests be a requirement once someone hits a certain age? If so, at what age should it become a requirement? Should it be annual, bi-annual?

 

[Raider6309]

Nope

 

[zeeman]

Aw, little ronnie got stuck behind a little ole lady or gentleman today and it pizzed him off. Why don’t you call the wahmbulance

 

[BlueJayFan]

No

65 would be good. 60, probably better.

 

[chs1971]

60?!?!? No, I'm still good.

But my mom is 85 and I won't ride with her.

 

[zeeman]

65 would be good. 60, probably better.

Such an obvious troll, you’re better than that, or maybe not?

 

[Crusaders]

Motor skills and eye sight deteriorate at that age. Regular testing seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Hey it’s a troll thread to begin with, why not give the masses what they want:shrug:

Keep the gubmint outta our lives libertarians!

 

[Crusaders]

OK. The libertarian option is raising old people's insurance to that of teenagers or more.

Well we could just use our SS to pay the premiums:shrug: ya know the SS you’ll pay but never see:shrug:

Privatizing the roads would be a more libertarian option.

There's no social security allowed in the libertarian option. Sorry.

 

[Crusaders]

Both are equally libertarian. Private roads is a little too AnCap for me.

 

[zeeman]

Well, that’s why you guys will always suck the Johnson

 

[Crusaders]

Make better investments and you won't have to rely on SS

 

[TylerDurden]

I haven't looked into it, but I'd imagine that insurance premiums are already increased for the elderly.

 

[zeeman]

My investment are strong and kicking butt! Add in SS and I will be livin large!

Anyone who thinks this is a troll thread also probably thinks the high school football board is the pinnacle of intellectual debate :laugh:

Not that much from what I remember. A 75 year old pays about that of a 30 year old. 16-19 pay can double or triple.

Blue haired discounts aside, yes they are. Younguns like to think they can outsmart us, but nah

Zeeman just wants to believe it's a troll thread because he's old.

You don't have a right to drive.

Keep working it reruns for wee ones, but this thread ain’t exactly menstrational

 

[TylerDurden]

So why are insurance companies taking on high risk people at a lower premium than the market should dictate? Either that or they're not high risk.

You don't have a right to drive.

Who told you that? Your government teacher? I have the right to do ANYTHING that doesn't directly interfere with your rights.
