If not for the sheer amount of fatalities that would undoubtedly occur, I would argue that a "Senior Learning Permit" type be issued to all drivers over the age of 70.
At such a time, the elder would have to enlist the help of a willing child or grandchild to record 25 hours of safe driving time. I realize that needlessly putting someone's life in danger like this is extreme, but it would go a long way towards curbing my ever-increasing road rage. I don't want to punch an old woman in the face anymore than you, believe me.
The reasoning behind this "new age" type of thinking? After buying a totally sweet hoodie on my lunch break, I was almost t-boned by an old woman who couldn't decide if she wanted to turn right or go straight. She had her right turn signal on, yet went straight, defying the very rules that govern our road, or our "Rules of the Road."
WTF?
