I am not denying that for one reason or another some people are bad drivers and should not be on the road. But one size fits all legislation is not the answer. IMO Governments are inherantly incabable of using sound judgement in matters like this. All they can do is create blanket policies that sweep everybody - good and bad drivers alike - under the same rug. Nanny states, in their attempt to create a perfectly safe world where no one is ever hurt, no one ever killed, no one even offended for cripesakes, are destroying our liberties. I say if you run the roads you take your risks. If you go to a bar you might inhale some 2nd hand smoke. If you go to a baseball game you might get beaned by a stray ball. If you go hunting you might get shot or if you climb a ladder you might fall down. That is just how it is. You people who think we need more legislation for older drivers need to remember that they are not the most accident prone (though admittedly they are the second most unsafe group) - Males under 25 are. You want to limit older drivers rights. Yet you are the same people who go to great lengths to help your 16 YO son get his license and a car of his own. You can not mandate intelligence. You can not mandate safe driving habits. You can not mandate ability. All you can do is create more and more restrictions in our personal lives which rob everyone of their liberty and do very little towards making the world a safer place to live. I am tired of watching my freedoms taken away in the form of seat belt laws, smoking bans, intrusive recycling laws, increasingly restrictive land use laws and building codes - some of which actually go behond health and safety in into the realm of asthetics. I don't need or want a faceless, nameless bureaucrat making life changing decisions for me. The next thing you know i will have to take a safety course just to use a ladder to clean the gutters on my house. I've had enough of that.
