Personally I feel if elderly drivers were removed from the roads the world would be a slightly safer place. Because many wrecks each year are at the hands of the elderly who are no longer worthy of driving because they are drousy, sick, or generally not strong enough to pilot a powerful vehicle. There would be less accidents, tax costs to repair the roads, and loss of life. Although it may be more inconvenient for our elders, the pros outweigh the cons. Some pros I already listed, some cons are lack of mobility for seniors, and angry elderly people who can no longer drive.
I hope that it would lower taxes by eliminating damage to roads due to accidents at the hands of the elderly. It would lower taxes by reducing the amount of money spent on roads to keep them in shape after accidents. Also nobody likes accidents and loves their grandparents. So nobody would want to lose them or their money. I hope that in a few years drivers over 60 will need to take a test to see if they are still worthy to drive.
This test would keep them from wrecking cars and keeping them alive. The cars not wrecking would keep money in your pocket and keep grandma and grandpa still chugging along in life. Something we all want. So, would you rather keep seniors driving or your grandma or grandpa?
