Elderly Driving

The age they're using in New Hampshire. Our neighbors to the north one of only two states one of only two states who. Have retest. Based upon an age when -- get to a certain age they want to test yet your reflexes you vision you can you're you're driving capacities the other state surprised surprises Illinois. Heidi liked about them I think that's an opportunity for -- black go I think black ago probably like -- a little back -- I -- but I think it's -- I'm not that something needs to be done as boomers start to retire now yes hey you know we're we're really really old married to who's going to retirement writing older country I guess what I mean they're going to retire to reach retirement age. If if you have half the population that's over the age 65. It's gonna be impossible to take anything away from from older people truck we better do check out just like. Strike before the gray Panthers come to your house so what should happen what would be the policy change that would make the most sense I I favor video game. Some kind of very scientific. In terror call factual hard nosed here's the limit -- you've got to have a response time that is acts. Here's that way you test it Chara and if people lose their licenses or have them restricted if they can't respond because if if you're living on our -- to -- and -- downtown area and a -- right now you know you get a car reading you drive a mile to go and ended church or something. You go play bingo. That that's a different kind of licensing thing and the right to -- on -- highway but why couldn't you have my levels of license mistake number one wildcat. So yesterday are 82 year old -- shock -- Brookline. -- just mosey and a mystery he lives in Brooklyn is out to the grocery store Brooklyn stone just exactly would you set up smile always -- of the Trader Joe's gonna buy some healthy food and easy to he wants to 202. Any man this is looking for good deal Alexia etc. there's -- not situations that has so deplored IE he -- he hits the accelerator instead of the -- he accelerates common at the time nobody does that he made a mistake that could happen anywhere but I think. That use start pulling back on drivers as they get older -- without a doubt and taking away options and one of the options you want. -- people can be very dangerous out on -- highway when they're older. Where they'd be fine driving at thirty miles an hour but they don't feel comfortable going at high speeds so your crews on the highway at a normal right blamed speed of seventy or 75. And suddenly there's a somebody Freddy -- 35. Leo it's more like a dairy kinds of very -- very scary thing not his that the test that I would impose I would -- to the video games probably cause and intimidated -- most the stuff myself but I'd love to lose my own license. I would actually make it more real world how about this. Parallel park. You have to back into a space curbside. -- some people and when I wanna know hot hot -- well February you'd -- Lanka -- winner in his role if you'd like no other registrar of rendered as they ought to know that the there's a measure. Of how quickly -- some child runs and -- your -- bank that is going to take an hour and a -- for you to -- Arabia or are -- going to step on the --

And that's why you have to test both you know visual as well as wrote what I'll call wrote abilities so he might be at the -- their -- said the blue dot in the child dot does a little blur to the side bold. You get to the -- gets the break so you have to test both the -- what it called road reflexes as well as. Visual capacity I'm -- to hear from people in New Hampshire 61726660. And sixty -- in Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut they would put up and Kentucky. And in concerns on what the -- not. Yeah I would love to hear what people those other states would put up with what they think is appropriate for the grandparents and parents yes and -- in New Hampshire what's the real deal what's the experienced at the obscene Wendy a mom a dad got to 75. And then had to take the test his one other thing I had a curious system how you'd how you react to this. I would make the they would have to do this annual.

Yeah I'm an annual uncle with them after the 7578. I would say every Thursday -- If there are stricter rules on the part of the registry because. That way it's the hardest thing in the world the security of parents say we -- back on your drug that's better to let the institution doing a show then have to do on our personal because I think most people --

I -- and I liked and say this so I have another example on the record have you wanted to have a morrow a -- it's. Bureaucracy because you're worried about getting cut out of the will. Basically is that you don't want to go on mom and dad hey daddy get meanwhile he's going to say. --

Half a mile walk to the car. Before you -- I that I don't or. Six point 72666860. Let's go to watch the Colin hey up good wanna pay that.

I hate. I would I would pick and -- that I didn't do right now.

I could run double the registry we're -- up with a -- about -- rage incorporated pop -- failure rates are alive they were going to get another idea I wondered Rachel is she's she -- a lot of you by colleagues say -- will provide -- right down the street -- want to send a damn what kind of license restrictions do you think there should be on senior drivers.

Well I first heard about myself fire and ice are -- are driving at night. --

He saw anger now. And it it's but that's is still is still evidence of the question -- it's a good project and serious under this bill said. So what what beyond the you know you're you showed some good self restraint but beyond that you I'm sure you've seen situations in which are people out.

Up from Iowa right. Now I think there's a broad -- serious road tests. And understanding wrote that now. And certainly Elaine who brought. Like hard mention. Are going to church he. That group private -- see how they do -- yeah.

So little bit on the highway a little bit of parallel parking a little old were all -- and try to hooked up well. Yet did you get to if you. Hop hop -- will -- you -- to Greg -- thank you 726668. Six it is the Phillies rally here on they have 680 WRKO let's go to my college from would -- the bottom might.

What element Paula I have to okay I've got a these are petty an example back in the seventies an article but beyond this it would. From the third demeanor. Because eyewitness to this Oakland woman -- Well I was sort of against station part. Public under the car up against the Kurds with smoke coming out the back in what's go on that particular military and -- or laughed yeah. And that spoke it would have been should be looked Riviera.

I'm thinking it's either cheats and shocker it's an elderly driver.

And driver with a foot on the gas pedal or glass. But ten seconds would put the book spoke real parents and -- the -- just go everywhere like what the hell do and what else would she do when would. A powerful wife crystal one point -- second she was voted in fear she'd had a minor fender Bender was somebody -- got -- car went into occur.

And I and she's okay. There shouldn't have to and they -- fertile renewal of -- that would stand. She muscular degeneration and from what happens is besides the reactionary time that so impaired you know to get --

That there's -- issues but -- America you can't see anyone drive into their social -- they're out fairly open.

They're really really looks like drugs like the military is operating the drum -- the underlying land credit -- coming. And they don't pick at all and I don't Manila would. -- they complain -- believe the sound.

He needs immediate that we were -- in my -- a couple of them. We couldn't get away from it with a -- read it now.

Yeah but most see that's what happens in most families and most seniors I don't think come around the senses on their own because of a -- biggest thing to elect a huge change for them it is a deprivation of their freedom they think for them.
