May 17: I think that once people reach a certain age (i.e. 65 or 70) they should have to be retested or examined to make sure that they are still capable of driving safely. They should also have these tests frequently and regularly to make sure that they maintain their driving ability. The causes of poor driving in the elderly include stiff joints, declining eyesight and memory, and side effects from medication.
May 23: I still think that by a certain age, people should be regularly tested and/or examined to make sure they are still fit to drive safely. If they seem to pose danger on the roads, their license should be taken away, because if they are dangerous enough they pose a threat to not only themselves, but others as well. No one should have to worry about the being in danger on the road, and I think that reckless, unable, or unfit drivers pose too much of a threat in keeping peace on the roads.
It will be great to see where your research is taking. Looking forward to your notes and your evolving thesis. Do you think restricted driver's licenses should be automatic or would you rather see things handled differently? Hope your annotated bibliography is coming along!
