" Question proposed senior drivers legislation. Is that you get tested every five years after the age of 85. Is this sufficient."

" No I don't think it is I think it's going to be an earlier than that maybe seventy or 75 something like that -- 70% plus every five years and that's insufficient."

" Every X I I know rice a team every year you said the cost is prohibitive okay every two years them because. Every five years that's just ludicrous I -- your eyesight changes dramatically. Every eighteen months or so at that AJ even less so you can't you can't have it every five years well."

" I I don't know -- I -- to you one -- you can't have you can't have anymore of this automatic renewal over the Internet which is what you get you get you get one of those you'll we have to go every ten years now right every for every it's every other time you renew your driver's license hugest. You just give them your credit card number at the registry and other central license right. That's gotta that's got to come to a man for her as much as it is as convenient is that yes I love that I love that service.
