Every-time an "old" driver is involved in a crash like hitting the wrong pedal in an automatic there is a cry for us to have our right to drive taken away once we become considered as being "old"
I firmly am of the opinion that "old" is more a state of mind rather than body.
I encounter slow lane hogging oldies and I have come to a conclusion that they drive that way as they have become fearful of traffic and out of their comfort zone due in part to very limited experience in today's hi volume traffic. I regularly drive in both peak hour and off peak traffic in both city and highway traffic with no worries as well as tow my car hundreds of klm's to and from events that I enter.
FYI I have to have a yearly medical and eye test I have better than 20/20 vision
