No, he's 85. Probably is losing his ability to drive safely anymore. All inferences are pretty clear that the former astronaut was at fault.
There needs to be criteria where you must be retested, for vision, rules of the road, and an actual road test. I think over the age of 65 it should be required every two years... and to be honest, under 65 it should be every 5-10 years or so.
Oh, and I would not charge the seniors for this test. I am sure that will be a non-starter... but let's be fair.
