Airlines are allowed to discriminate based on age and health for pilots, so should the DMV.
An elderly (98) friend of mine told me with great indignation that Indiana had made it too much trouble for her to continue driving after she turned 80. The state started a requirement for elderly drivers to retake their written driver's test every month. Does anyone know if that's actually true?
That's the real issue. At what point is someone's dignity less important than protecting the public? Just imagine how the punishment would have gone down if he would have been a drunk driver.
