why would someone 80 years old drive a car? In other countries, you have to take a physical and mental exam every 5 years in order to drive, then after age of 45 every 3 years, and after 60 every year. You can drive till you drop IF you are healthy, physically and mentally. here in the US, you take a vision test one (but you can be NUTS, no one check if you are mentally sane), yet you get the driver's license. Then no one cares, there are people legally blind out there driving on highways.
