Quote HistoryQuoted:
Driving while old is at least as dangerous as driving while drunk. Fixed it. At least drunks are only drunk some of the time. My 73 year old motorcycle riding dad would be happy for there to be a strict competency test every year or two for anyone over 65. People's incompetence driving scares the shit out of him. |

And a single MVC caused by a confused elderly should be grounds for loss of license. Let there be an appeals process where they prove competency if they want. I've known a couple people mangled by old folks who didn't quit driving and have seen plenty of other cringe worthy old drivers. RIP trooper.

I think I saw in one of the news reports that the family has setup a GoFundMe account to help with costs. I'm on my phone so I don't have a link, though.

On the news now. Active in his church, sang and played guitar, youth minister.
He was hit literally at my exit. The rest area the old man dragged him to is at least 2 miles north of here. Rest easy Trooper Wolf. God bless you and your grieving family. |

No charges, WTF? No charges yet. I expect that some will be forthcoming after the reconstruction and investigation is complete. At the very least, the 72 year old will likely be on the hook for a 1 year misdemeanor "moving violation causing death," but could be on the hook for up to a 15 year felony "Failure to Stop at the Scene of an Accident - When at Fault - Causing Death." |

It;s not just the age of a person on why they should be tested, it's the MEDS there on, people get meds that totally fuck them up esp when you get older.
