Setting a maximum age for driving in the US or any other country for that matter, would have the freedom of choice and anti-censorship campaigners screaming. Fancy introducing ...read more

While I can certainly understand the strong argument to not limit someone's personal freedom, especially in the latter years in life, there also comes a point when the safety of...read more

Yes, there should be a maximum driving age. The United States is consumed with minimum ages. 16 to drive, 18 to vote, 21 to drink, . Why should restrictions be one sided against...read more

On what basis would you set the maximum? An arbitrary number like 70? How can you possibly decide what the age should be? There is no justification for this notion. All yo...read more

In my humble opinion, there should be a graduated (or de-graduated) licensing process for the elderly similar to those adopted in some states for teens. If you pass the test yo...read more

Hell, no! I'm 82 and still drive every day. I'm not as good as I was 60 years ago, but I'm still safe and responsible at the wheel. Further, there are drivers in their 90s I'd m...read more

It would be wrong to set a "maximum" age limit for drivers. It is another form of age discrimination. Each person ages differently. Some 50 year olds look and behave older ...read more

Of course there shouldn't. I mean, really, why cut off someone from driving just because they're old? I don't want to hit 75 (or whenever) and suddenly, I can't drive anymore. ...read more
