Is it still safe for my brother to be driving?

Why put an age limit on it....like 70 ? Makes no sense. Is this YOUR advice?

I know people below the age 70 who shouldn't ever be driving and people 80 and above who are excellent
drivers! 70? PPFFFT !

Who are you talking to falcon? ...this is an old thread from 2012.

Trevor's the one who wants to cut off drivers @ age 70. Just sayin'.

It's nuts...I agree!

Living in a senior community in Florida, I know of people in their 90's that still drive. The doctor can have your license pulled, but there is no age law to stop driving. For those of us that still have a heavy foot and like to zoom in and out of traffic, when I get behind an older driver in Florida or anywhere, I respect them and just be patient until I can get around them without frightening them.

I think no one should drive after 70 simply because our reflexes stop being the same. Even if you are relatively healthy you should stop driving at 70 tops.

Maybe Trevor was insulted that nobody agreed with him. He hasn't posted since July 2012!

Maybe he went for a ride with his Brother.

I think it is up to person driving to report any disabilities to RTA (Vic) If you need glasses etc

As a carer for my wife I felt it my duty not to renew her licence.She didn't like it but has got used to it now.Can imagine the licence tester giving her one anyway when she is in a wheelie walker to get her photo taken !!

Should be up to optometrist to inform proper authorities of health issues effecting driving abilities
