Boy, 8, fatally struck by Honda SUV driver, 69, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn
The driver was 69 years old. Maybe elderly people driving large SUV's in a very urban area is a terrible idea?
I don't like the idea of cracking down on drivers once they reach a certain age. Everyone ages differently. Just require that all drivers re-test every five years. I bet we'd be surprised at how many 40 year olds flunk out.
Now do guns
In before we deem that such tests fail too many current drivers and decide "fuck it, what's a few dead kids anyway"
NHTSA FARS 2023 ARF dataset reports that 45-54 has a higher accident rate than 55-64, 65-74, or 75+ groups. The most fatal-accident prone age groups are 15-20, 21-24, and 25-34.
Every age group will flunk out, young and old.
Really 99.99% of people shouldn't be allowed to have a license and with the cleared up space we need real public transit
While that sounds good on paper, I get the impression that would be an administrative nightmare. For one, having enough staff to handle all the extra DMV traffic; two, handling all the court cases of people trying to skirt rules because they feel hassled by the 5 year limit.
I could agree with you if your response to them is “Too bad” but it would still be a mess.
Im not sure being elderly matters here. Cant stop in time if you can't see.
69 is elderly? Typically that starts around 75 I thought
MediaN person in America is dead by 75...
