I think that when you start collecting social security you should take a road test. what do you think?

What doest that have to do with taxes?

Personally, I think EVERYONE should have to take a road test every 5 years. SS recipients have no corner on FUBAR driving habits -- like the dizzy-lish that nearly ran me off the road this morning talking on a cell phone and putting on mascara while driving about 65 MPH. What an IDIOT!

No.... just because a person is collecting social security, doesn't make them "unfit" to drive a car. Some people that are disabled, might have a medical condition that would have no bearing on their ability to drive. I do think that they should take a written test, without the book, with answers in it. Then, if they miss like 5 or 6 questions, they should take a actual driving test.
Just because they are disabled, doesn't mean that they are dumb.
I think all new drivers below the age of 21 should take both the written test and the drivers test, and if they mess up, then have them take a drivers course. Not all older people cause wrecks....I had a friend, just 17, talking on a cell phone, had a wreck and she got killed.

I don't know that a road test would indicate much other than the fact that a person could drive. The person giving the test tells the driver what he wants them to do and they just follow directions. The great many things that would make any person a threat on the roadway is not brought out during a road test. A persons reaction time, a persons physical abilities and such. Several things a person doesn't do while taking a road test are, talking on a cell phone, put on makeup, read a road map, find and change a CD, or any other thing that takes their full attention off of what they should be doing- DRIVING. Hey there is an idea, take away a persons driving privileges for a year if they are caught multitasking while driving. That won't happen but, I wouldn't be surprised if road tests for elderly drivers are mandated..

The first problem with this suggestion is that Social Security is a federal program and drivers' licenses are issued by each state.
Secondly, who will pay for all the new examiners that will be needed to do all these road tests?
Finally, while some older drivers shouldn't be on the road, that's true of some drivers of all ages.

You have proposed a complex and expensive solution to what is merely a relatively minor problem.

I think people over 60 (no offense to anyone) should retake the driver's test. Let's face it, the laws have changed in the past 40 years. And everyone could use a refresher course.

I think young people should take a test 10 times harder than old people. who are the worst drivers. who gets in the most accidents,who got the most traffic tickets. how old are the most people killed in accidents, y do insurance company's charge young people hi rates. experience comes with age . don't forget that


Mariposa
No, children collect (actually it is sent to their guardian) SS due to a parent driving. No offense, but I don't want to see a 2 year old taking a road test.

If you are implying that people aged 62 and older are dangerous drivers you are barking up the wrong tree. The majority of accidents are caused by people younger than 25.
If you don't believe me, ask your insurance agent why rates are higher for people under 25.

I almost never see older drivers pulling the crazy stunts I witness from drivers under 30. Zig zagging through traffic, tailgating, passing too close to oncoming traffic or on a hill and habitually driving 15-20 miles over the speed limit.

I think there should be an annual road test for those younger than 30 to remind them what the traffic laws are and what they should have learned from drivers education.

Likewise there should be road tests for those over 70.

I think it would be a good idea to begin posting traffic law reminders on billboards so ALL ages would see them and be reminded to STOP at stop signs, maintain a safe distance and USE THE DAMNED TURN SIGNAL.!!

OH, and stay off the phone when you are driving....

no
there are some people that collect ss when they are 18

I think it's a common sense question. Of course they should. They are either retired or unable to work for some physical ailment. Every year these people deteriorate alittle. Make them do it. They have plenty of time. It may save some lives.

No, I think they should make drivers take refresher courses every 10 yrs. and all new drivers should watch films of car accidents and the victims before getting a licence. Young women drive like maniacs, fast and furious and show no regard for trucks, or any one else on the road. They should not be allowed to own sports cars. They are a danger to themselves and others. Putting on makeup, talking on phones, searching in purses. I find young girls are the most dangerous drivers on the road. My opinion and my experience. I collect social security and I have no problems driving besides mostly young drivers, drivers that don't signal, drivers that don't have any respect or courtesy for anyone else on the road. I am a 53 yr. old who has a problem that does not allow me to work. I am not brain dead. I don't believe all young women are bad drivers, it's just my experience that I run into a lot who are not good drivers and are dangerous. So, as I apologize to the ones that are good drivers I want people to know that using signals should be a given, they are there for a reason and laws need to be obeyed, by everyone, not just older drivers who were taught to do so. Everyone needs to be more diligent when driving deadly weapons around town and in neighborhoods. They kill people. Mostly young people. I have never had a ticket, not have I had an accident. So, I resent the idea of me being singled out to be tested while people younger than me are causing most of the deaths by vehicle. It is wrong.


PsychoMistress
The elderly should certainly be subjected to more vigorous testing than they are currently receiving.

In my state alone, they are responsible for more traffic accidents than drunk drivers.
