o, but after like 70, there should be a required test every few years to see if someone is still capable of driving.


This is actually a good idea.

Get off my lawn, bitch.

And FYI, while I was in Mississippi recently I renewed my 88 year old mother's license for her via the internet. For 8 more years.

probably more like 70 or so. too many elderly don't have the vision or confidence to drive at a reasonable speed.


was on my way to work yesterday, just starting to rain, was on a 7 lane road(turn lane being #7,) a young milf, on her cell phone tried to pull out in front of me(speed limit 50, I was at 55, without enough room, because of the road conditions she did a "900," because of my quick old man reaction time and the good luck that there was no close oncoming traffic, I was able to avoid hitting the count by swerving into the opposite direction traffic lanes, the last I saw of her in the rearview she was still in the middle of the road, stopping traffic, frozen up, probably still texting

What a dumb arse take. Ok sure, then take away everyone under 25 because guys at that age are just fricking stupid in general and every girl is a menace on the road with their phones glued to their ear and putting on makeup... Ever head of hands free bish?

Tell that to the HS bitch that rear ended and totaled my parent’s car while they had their left blinker on waiting to turn left. Bitch in her cellphone and didn’t even break. Thankfully my dad was okay.

That said, at a certain age you should probably have a yearly skills test to still drive. Say 70.

And you should prolly be barred from driving if you have a history of CVAs.

Hate to break the news to you sport, but bad drivers come in all ages, male and female.

Of course not. Most 65 year olds drive better than you. But we should increase testing at some point. And we should be firm about taking away the licenses of those who don’t pass.
