Elderly Drivers

I thought this was a great subject that Jarrica presented. The first you tube showing made me remember my dear sweet little grandma looking through her steering wheel to drive. She once got on the freeway and was going the wrong way down the freeway it scared her to death. Some how she was able to get her king sized Cadillac "The Golden Boat" turned around and headed in the correct direction. I agree with Jarrica and think that older drivers need to take a special test to keep their driving privileges. Most of the elderly are on medications that cause complications with their driving. I know of this first hand. When I was 16 I was driving to McDonalds with my friends. I felt so cool because I just got my drivers license. I was making a right hand turn correctly when all of sudden I got SLAMMED in the rear by a woman that was 80 yrs old. She hit me going 50 mph. My friends and I were sitting in the front seat that became the back seat. We were hauled off in the ambulance. Luckily we were not really hurt just ended up with really bad whiplash. My brothers friend was this elderly woman's hairdresser. 6 months after she hit me she pulled out in oncoming traffic and someone T-boned her and killed her.
