I taught Driver's Education for about 10 years and people in town would ask me to take their parents out for a road test to help them get a licence renewal. There are many factors, prescribed drugs, mobility and good functioning brain. I had one gentleman out one day and he drove very well, did not appear to be restricted in any way and then I said we could go back to his place and end our session..he had no idea where he was nor how to get home. I had to give him instructions to get back to his driveway.A friend's mother forced several cars off the road when she had taken her prescribed meds..very dangerous. If an older person has lost mobility, being able to turn around to look back or operate pedals atc, this is dangerous. What I found is this : Most older Driver's can pass the road test !!! They have driven so many years that the process of driving is an automatic reaction to the environment around them. I had several drivers whose families told me not to worry, their parent wouldn't pass the road test, well they would pass and then they would tell me their parent shouldn't be driving. That makes things difficult and I didn't like being in the middle , but that is a reality. Here in Ontario if an elderly driver is involved in a fender bender or gets a ticket , they automatically have to be tested , sight, written rules and road test. Over the age of 80 and the same thing applies. A lot of Ontario drivers give it up at 80.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
