Plenty of people crash in bad weather conditions. Most states make older people go through vision tests frequently to maintain their license. Everybody ages differently. Van Dyke is pretty darn spry for 97. He only looks 80 something.

I'm not a kid anymore.My girlfriend,10 years younger than me (yah,I know...robbing the cradle) always makes fun of the fact that I'm always the guy in the right lane of I-90...or 95...or 684...with the cruise control set at 66MPH. Even at my age...no longer 50 and not yet 80...I can feel my abilities slipping just a bit,particularly my confidence. I can easily see myself in a few years being on I-90 with the cruise control set at 60 (or slower).

I stick by my opinion: mandatory medical certification required at "X"...and no licenses issued after "Y".

I think he looks 100% his age. My mother at 102 looked 25 years younger than him.
