 w/ this as well. I think I've even read a study that says people who are higher up in age have just as bad, if not worse reaction time than those people studied who we're texting, drunk, etc. Driving is a privelege and after say 70, people should be tested just as they were when they were 16yrs old. I'm sure myself and everyone on here has passed that 70yr old granny, sitting 6" away and hugging the steering wheel while doing 40mph on the freeway. My mother is in her 50's and I've told her she needs to simply stay off the freeways because she's a complete f'ing idiot in the rain and that her fear of driving alone will cause other people to get into an accident because she is too scared to drive at speed in the rain...and she lives in Seattle, so sh'e screwed either way!! But we're getting off topic.
