re: Should old people have to take a different test to drive?

2 quick examples of things I've encountered in just the past week. Heading down Nicholson to take a left onto Lee. There is a car at the intersection stopped waiting to turn left across the tracks onto Brightside. So of course I hit my blinker and prepare for us to both turn left at the same time (I have two cars directly in front of me). So as I reach the intersection and we both begin to make our turns, some girl pulls into the short lane which is explicitly for those turning right onto Lee and then whips around the other car and pulls into the intersection to continue down Nicholson, accelerating like nobody's business all the while. I slam on my brakes and narrowly avoid getting t-boned.

Just this morning, while being the first car in line at a red light waiting to turn left onto an interstate onramp, the light turns green and I begin turning. Suddenly from the right, a jeep comes hurling at a very high rate of speed through the red light from the offramp and cuts in front of me, again causing me to slam on my brakes to avoid a collision.

Both of these drivers would pass an annual test. The test has nothing to do with these decisions, they weren't made because the drivers didn't know the rules of the road, they were made because both drivers were selfish, thoughtless douchebags.
