I think half the kids in Colorado should be tested.

According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the safest drivers are in the age group between 64 and 69 years old. And studies of the data reveal that teenage drivers — especially male teenage drivers — are the most dangerous drivers on the road.

Yes,yes,yes,YES! And I say that as one who's fast approaching an age where *I* might be required to re-test.

Obammy care would like to kill all of them.

Young drivers are worse. At least that is true around here. Retest them.

Yikes,there's carnage on the streets of Connecticut.For anyone not familiar with the area two of the towns mentioned,New Canaan and Darien,are both suburbs of New York City and are among the wealthiest residential communities ON EARTH!

The answer is yes, but the real question is, “How frequently?”

I knew an older neighbor who seemed perfectly rational at Christmas, but wandered off driving, parked his car, and died of exposure several months later. It was sad, but fortunately he didn’t take anyone with him. What frequency of testing would have anticipated a sudden decline without being oppressive?

I'm sure there are seniors who are bad drivers who would pass a new test, and seniors who are good drivers who would fail. Why not just look at driving history and be quick to ticket senior drivers who have senior moments at the wheel? Then test them as part of determining if they (we) can keep our licenses. It would be simpler and more effective.

If seniors are going to be discouraged from driving, there would have to be a whole lot of progress in safe public transportation.

Definitely retest, and include reaction time and decision making tests.

Had some old geezer turn left in front of me over forty years ago such that I hit the side of his car on my bike at about 50 mph.. Busted me up nicely.

Geezer kept on going, someone that saw it happen had to chase him down. Claimed he did not know anything happened.

Dang it, driving in the passing lane at 45 with my left blinker on is the best part of getting old! BTT

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Yes.

Personally, I can DRIVE THE PANTS off of just about any 90 year old, even with 0.11 BAC. Without a doubt. But I am the one how gets my life ruined...so I don’t drive drunk (which is still better for everyone).

But should that 90 year old still be driving, when NO ONE knows of his capability?

[Popman]

Having lived in God's waiting room namely Broward and Palm Beach County Florida, I've seen my share of the elderly who have absolutely no reason to be driving...

Test them every year after 75...

It all comes down to personal responsibility. I charged my son to take my keys away when he believes I should stop driving. I don’t want to be that guy mashing the gas pedal trying to stop as I plow through pedestrians.

If someone values their “freedom” to drive over the lives of other folks, he will continue to drive regardless of what is right. Just like folks who drink and drive, or text and drive, etc.

That’s life, and that’s death. That’s a free society. There is risk in liberty. No more laws, please.

Why not retest everyone? It would give so many more state jobs.
