Suvs are now running amok of their you know they they did they did that make sure they give you such a raft of grower you know what frontier. Cohorts but you'd never make the mistake again but now it just -- I mean it's not just this -- that people -- to get an issue -- just. Behold the whole standards of sort of fallen apart in newspapers because about the economic woes you know."

" Right it we've we've all been behind people who obviously had no clue what they were going. -- absolutely."

" It nobody in this is not mean this is not meant as a defensive drunk drivers or out of control teenage drivers or illegal aliens without driver's licenses. Ammunition day you know if you're a bad driver you should be taken off a road."

" Absolutely. And you should have to pass tests to do it right. And it's not up to it you know on -- up to me to take my parents off the road it's the State's responsibility well once issuing a -- since."

" But the way how the professional I mean like you know again this guy this guy Ronald -- had they according to the registry he had a perfect record until this morning. You know I mean how the power of the so called professionals ever gonna and flagged this guy. Surely kids -- I'm not sure to kids could flag me there of the doctors it's like the earlier caller said I mean people though some people go downhill really really fast. That is -- I don't think there's any way to catch catch somebody like that. But you just tell you just got to try to slow you know -- you know take his get his get as many of them off the road as possible and -- mean -- and how we don't believe people in general I mean bad elderly drivers. People who were off threat a menace to themselves. Mean what that woman who -- dumb enough to kill what little girl what was going through crosswalk. I mean she'd kill she'd killed her husband. You don't fifteen years earlier when she was in her sixties. Why would she drive that thanks for the call ever won 8774694322. At least know what's in the doctor should be doing and I mean. You know if if you know the people the registry go look the other way. And if the cops in some cases are gonna look the other way. And the children are gonna look the other way why it is -- does it fall on the medical professionals to two or act out. There -- patients I don't I don't think that they should have to do that 18774694322. Roy your next with -- cargo ahead Roy."

" Good thank Howie first of all white focus on elderly drivers abuse how many people have been killed this year by elderly drivers to five can. 90000 people a year are killed by medical negligence and there's silence from journalists about this. And my other point is why you discriminating against -- what about grandpa died. --"

" Granny just seem like a good way to go you know I don't mean any discriminate if Greenpeace seem like a better it it. It just from a literary perspective I stand by my decision --"

" I agree but you know men are getting discriminated against all the time now you know."

" They are I had no idea site I guess side and have to plead guilty right. The thing is the thing about -- the thing about medical. Medical mistakes Roy is I mean. You have to have people. Being operated on right Emmy Peabody did does certain number mistakes -- gonna be made just like that you always been a -- we have a you know -- to minimize some bright -- you can hope for his left."

" Right but not under -- told about the focus and there's not that many and if you managed to protest people test everybody every five years I mean there's a lot of people they take a driving dress which seventeen. And then they become -- drivers you'd never trusting them. Why based un agency."

" Because I think be because as you get as you get to as you reach a certain point and may be the point is eighty Obama cut I'll use that New Hampshire cut off of 75. Once you get -- radio a look at those accident statistics I mean it's like -- it's it's this there's a giant upward curve once you reach a certain age."

" Well then just just everybody after certainly far that's."

" That's what that's -- safe and that's what I wanna go I mean that -- I don't wanna do it but. I just think that that's the way it that's the way to go thanks for the call Roy. 18774694322. And Howie --"
