Senior Drivers

I just witnessed something pretty awesome! I saw an elderly lady last night go through the drive through at Burger King in Salem, quite literally! That's right, she drive through the drive through straight into the building...

The Burger King now stands as a shining monument to why old people shouldn't be driving, with a gaping hole in the side of the building, right where the drive through used to be..

So I'm curious, what's your stance on the issue TC?

Yes, but this also applies to anyone under the age of 20, and anyone who has Confederate Flags on a bumper sticker or license plate cover.

And those godawful fucking smart cars. I want to run them off the road every time I see them.

Once a person turns 60, he or she should be required to retake the driving test (the same one 16-year-olds take) every three years (whenever they go to renew their licenses), maybe even more frequently if this doesn't curb the problem enough. He or she should be sent a notice in the mail when his or her license is about to expire.

Also, an IQ test should be required to receive a driver's license, with a minimum IQ of 100, applicable to all ages. Those who throw temper tantrums over these new laws should be relinquished of all driving priveleges as they are likely to demonstrate road rage. For God's sake, people, you're operating large, potentially dangerous machinery here! All we ask is that you stop at red lights, wait your damn turn at stop intersections, and above all, watch where you're going (which means looking behind your car when moving backwards).

Did I get carried away here?
