·There's talk as the population gets older, about getting senior's retested for driver license in cages, anyone think this is a good idea, including cycles?
Cheers!

Oh, that's really peachy to hear, why with Colorado Gold coming up at the end of July I'm really not looking forward to the illegal alliens and their related problems. :xlittlejoe1227 said:leave the seniors alone. the real problem i see here in colo. is illegal aliens driving with no DL NO INSURANCE and when they do get into a accident . they hit and run. here in colo we have little or no problems with seniors.
mostly drunk illegals driving.

I think EVERYONE, regardless of age or what they drive or ride should be retested on a periodic schedule.Wi_Winger said:...anyone think this is a good idea, including cycles?

Read my post friend. I merely mentioned that I believe that if I can still get qualified to carry weapons in a combat zone, then I don't really feel that I need to take a test to ride or drive. Didn't mention pulling a weapon on anyone!! I did also infer that there a tons of folks much younger than me who can't even see 10 feet in front of them, and should not even get close to a steering wheel or think of hopping on a bike. Just don't lump all of us seniors in one package..that is all I'm saying. I will also be more than willing to take a retest every year if required...but only if it is required of everyone in a specific category...no exceptions. BTW, I grew up in Jacksonville, I miss Florida quite a lot sometime.North Florida said:Hm. Anyone who gets irate at the thought of requiring a retest of senior citizens oughta visit the Winn Dixie store outside On Top of the World retirement village and watch those untested seniors in their 20 year old rear-drive dinosaurs try to park between the lines. That includes the gentleman who apparently plans on pulling his Glock on anyone who 'threatens' him with a retest. Perhaps there oughta be a psychological test included as well.
Here in Florida the license renews for six years..it's pretty scarey to think of some of the folk I meet in my store still driving. A couple years ago Channel 10 in south Florida put a camera on a retirement community parking lot, and showed the result on the news. Absolutely amazing. Collisions, sideswipes, up on the curbs, etc. Oh, and those who have lost their licenses just hop in their unlicensed golfcars and barrel through the stop signs unhindered.
Ride long and safe..and I am more than willing to retest every year if required. And stop driving when I cannot pass the test.
