My opinion is like a butthole, it stinks, but here it is anyway:
Dont allow people to drive until they are 21. Once you hit the age of 60 it is mandatory that you re-take your driving test every year until you DIE !!!
Every fucking day i have a run in with some grey haired mofo that damn near kills everyone on the road. Im pretty fed up with it, plus i have kids in my car to worry about. the highways are dangerous enough without a bunch of Stevie Wonders cruzing around

No offense, but that's the dumbest shit I've heard in my life. Do you understand the ramifications and consequences of such foolishness?
Let's take me for example.
I'm 20. I go to college and I have a job. My dad works from morning until dinner time, and my mom, being the traditional mom, is usually busier than my dad all day.
Let me ask you a few questions, now.
If I can't drive, how do I go to school? Daddy can't take me cause he's at work. Mommy can't take me because she's cleaning/cooking/grocery shopping/etc. Oh, I know... I'll take a taxi or a bus for a 10 mile ride EVERY DAY. It's not a problem - I can afford it... oh wait, I can't afford it because I can't drive to my fucking job now. So, now I have no income and no college. That's real swell.
Multiply that by a couple more MILLION college students across the country and what do you have? A big fucking mess. Parents being late for work because they had to take their kids to school or work... less people working and attending school because they can't drive. Awesome!
As I've said before, you can't be a dumbass and categorize everything. Unmarried males under 25 are more likely to drive recklessly, does that mean that all of them will? No. Elderly people are more likely to drive slowly, does that mean all of them will? No... my grandfather is 82 and he drives faster than I do despite the fact that my car is safer and performs better.
We must eliminate this ridiculous concept of categorization and focus more on the individual. Should Warik pay a higher insurance premium because he's an unmarried male under 25, or should Warik pay a normal insurance premium because he's never caused a big accident or been arrested etc... like many others his age.

I agree with Warik - police need to spend more time enforcing petty speed violations, etc., and more time cracking down on what really causes accidents, mainly right-of-way violations. I set off the damn ABS TWICE yesterday driving back from the gym because people pulled out in front of me...and no, I wasn't speeding - I was actually under the limit both times. But local governments are addicted to speeding ticket revenues, so that's what the police concentrate on, especially in some towns where speed limits are set artifically low.
Having lived in Tampa for eight years, I have to agree that the elderly should have to take driving tests more frequently, or at least have their reactions, hearing, etc. tested by a doctor annually. It's a wonder I didn't have a heart attack from the pent-up road rage. Seeing plates from the heavy snowbird states (MI, WI, MN, etc.) or Ontario still makes me nervous, and I still shudder every time I see the three most terrifying words you can see on a license plate: "Je me souviens" - what is it about elderly Quebecois that makes them so much worse? (Sorry, having a flashback there...slow, regulated breathing...there, I'm better now...)
