What are your thoughts on senior citizen driving? When I say senior citizen, I mean people who are in their 70s or 80s or older people that arent very healthy for their ages.
Today I was remembering something that happened last year when I went to a mall nearby. I remember that my family had just got out of the car and we were walking towards the mall entrance. And then this old man fell on the floor. He looked like he was in his mid 70s. Of course we helped him until someone from the mall came to help him and they took to him to a hospital.
What bothered me was that the man was not in the best physical health but he was driving alone. It got me thinking. What could have happened if this man was driving and something happened to him while he was driving.
Honestly, it doesnt bother me when I see older people driving because I know that there are some that are capable of doing it, but what bothers me is when I see old people that shouldnt be driving but still are because they basically have no other option. It bothers me because I get scared that these people that shouldnt be behind a wheel are going out in the streets and there is a possibility of something happening to them that could cause something else such as a car crash.
It bothers me, but I still see them being allowed to drive even though they shouldnt be doing so. How do you feel about senior citizens driving even though they really shouldnt do it because of whatever reason? What do you think could be done so that they dont have to drive?
I think that if there was some sort of service provided for senior citizens to be driven around by a cap (or something else) without paying or without paying much would be great. Theyd still be able to go wherever they wanted but they wouldnt be a risk on the streets. I know that there will be some stubborn old people that will want to drive, but I think something like that could still work for other people.
