80 yo's should not be driving. I am in my middle 60's and sometimes I think that I should not be driving. If I had not have learned how to drive in Calif. and now live in the South where no one observes the rules. Most do not even have a license or insurance.

I think it should be based upon ability to perform rather than age. My family has a lot of 80 year olds who have their faculties. Annual testing, perhaps even license restrictions might be prudent, but I think ability varies with the individual -- especially as many of us won't be retiring until 70 if ever!

This is an intersting pamphlet on dealing with the aging driver population. I hope we can implement these ideas in the near future -- before the Boomers are added to the ranks.
