I presume you're in favour of making it illegal...
You are the second person to presume what I think or am "in favor of..." And I'll repeat- please don't as you're not any good at it.
As to drawing the line, it's done *constantly*, though it may have escaped your attention.
Aging *does* affect some people differently than others, but there are accurate generalizations, and there are exceptions to the rules.
There are probably 13-15 yo's who have more driving experience than some young adults, yet the minimum age is 16 for a CDL. Voting age is 18, used to be 21, drinking age in CA (and maybe the US proper) is 21. There are many, many lines drawn.
No matter where they are drawn, someone will always be pissed.
And a new flash- though there is some loss of depth perception when having "lost the sight from one eye", one *good* eye is still superior to two bad ones. I included hearing as a general victim of aging, but am aware that many drivers who are hearing impaired operate motor vehicles safely.
You may not agree with me; that's irrelevant. But please don't be stupid enough to use stupid, absurd extrapolations and attribute to or represent them as any part of my belief system.
