Im gonna keep it 💯with you , you are able and within your right to think that it doesnt matter that she’s 82 .
But in my opinion I already know there’s gonnabe some landmark study or studies thst comes out that proves thst people at or around the ages of 70-75+ should not be driving at all since people of this age tend to lack coordination , reaction time, and awareness of many of the driving related events happening around them.
I wish I had compiled it but something Ive noticed is that in hit-and-run stories is thst you will find a disturbingly common trend of seeing that a very old senior ‘hit something or someone’ , ‘never noticed it was there before’, ‘and kept on going cause they thought it was nothing’ .
There comes an age when you just have to accept thst youre just too old to do some things. Not a single paid athlete in basketball anywhere in the world has been able to stay io that profession past the age of 51… there is a reason for this…
Never allow your ego to betray your understanding of humanity and your understanding of your biology.
I have known plenty of 90 year olds who could drive fine, this woman hadn’t been physically tested for probably 20 years.
Regular testing should be mandatory for all ages IMO.
