What do you think about people still driving at 98 after Prince Philips accident?

I don't think personally that it's safe..

I think a solution is needed for old people (or any age) who lose their driving ability but lack access to both public transport and urban facilities, but can't afford to relocate.

@Really I agree but that still is not a good enough reason to get behind a wheel if they haven't deemed you safe..it's too big a risk.

@Primnproper] You're not paying attention. I said a solution was needed - nothing about something being 'enough reason to get behind a wheel.'

and [i]... "they" haven't deemed you safe[/i]

who are "they?" Do you mean, for instance, people who will 'deem you unsafe' when all they really know about you is your age???

@Really authorities,officials and doctors could deem them safe if there were tests set in place for it. I was merely saying that even if they were in the circumstances you provided that it's still not a reason to be behind a wheel if they are not equipped to deal with it. The minute anyone gets behind a wheel they have other people's lives in their hands not just their own.

@Primnproper To be clear: You're not suggesting I said that people who are not equipped to deal with it (for whatever reason) should get behind the wheel; or implying that I'm unaware drivers have their own and others' lives in their hands?

Surely theses things go without saying and they have nothing to do with a licensed driver's age; old or young.

@Really thank you for the clarity.
