Old people driving.

At what point should people not be able to drive? Do you think it's a smart idea to allow 70 or 80 year olds to drive?

YES! Chronological age has nothing to do with your mental and physical ability to drive. There are plently of 30 and 40 year olds who are disabled. There are also many 60 and 70 year olds who are active, heathy and agile.

I think what can be done is pass a law that mandates a medical exam to determine your physical ability once you reach a certain age.

Our's is a country predicated on the premise of freedom. Take away one's ability to drive simply because of age, and you're killing that IMHO.
