Re: Driving at 101, Safe or not?

driving at 101 years?!?, No they should not be!
why?.....
After age 80, there is a sharp decline in driving ability, although many drivers continue driving safely. Drivers over 80 are more than twice as likely to be at fault in a fatal collision than the average driver
there reactions would be too slow
there eyesight will be nearly gone
they probably have the shakes
more chance of having a heart attack at the wheel...killing other people (i know you can have a heart attack at any age but 101 you more chance!)
they dont look left and right anymore just straight ahead, oblivious of anyone else around
and probably deaf as a bat! and have there hearing aid switched off cuz of nagging wife!, if still around that is!)
and probably many more reasons .............
