Time to give up the keys?
Here we go again...Yet another ancient douchebag driver who can't tell the difference between the gas and brake pedal turns a grocery store into the set of a Terminator movie. I can't tell you how sick I am of hearing about some eighty-plus year old codger plowing through a crowd of innocent people because they felt like they were still capable enough to drive. Or in the case of this story, capable of driving a six thousand pound, V8 powered full size truck! I may be one to make gross generalizations, but it's pretty safe to assume that once most people turn say, seventy-five, they may not be the best equipped to pilot a multi-ton, high-speed missle. Why would I say such harsh things? Let's see-diminished judgement, sloth-like reaction times and deteriorating physical abilities such as worsening eyesight and hearing? Sounds like a great recipe for a safe driver! Since many of these geniuses don't know when to call it quits, I say the decision to pull them off the road should be made for them in the form of frequent DMV testing-fail once, and "Sorry, Morty, you're done." Why in the hell can't we have mandatory yearly testing for drivers over say 65? If such a program were in place, we'd all be a little safer. Some may argue that driving is a right, not a priviledge.(how in the fuck do you spell that word, anyway?) Not when you're a threat to society at large, asshat.
