Why is it that gas pedals only stick open in old peoples cars?

Go to Florida.
The state keeps renewing one's license (automatically by mail) for 12 (possibly 16) years as long as there are no accidents or violation.

My MIL was blind for four years before her license even came up for automatic renewal. She had quit driving as soon as her vision made it unsafe, but kept the license for ID purposes.

It is very sad to see the loss of independence an elderly person suffers by losing license, but it is also very scary, in Florida, the number of incapable drivers are on the road legally because of this lunatic system of renewals.
