Should Senior Drivers be banned from the road??

The U.S. Census Bureau predicts that by the year 2030, 9.6 million people on the road will be at least 85 years old. Already, as of 2005, 11% of fatal crashes in the U.S. were caused by drivers that old or older. So, should the goverment be revoking licenses after a certain age?Should they ban senior drivers? What age is too old to drive? Is there another solution

Seniors should be banned, period. Not just from driving.

Ban teenagers of course. but once you have license, after you reach a certain age, you should need to have your eyes checked each year as sight deteriorates with age. And once your eyes get too bad, there goes your license. It is cruel to just take license away after they reach a certain age. that is why we must base it on how good theri sight is to see. Provided there are not other health factors anyways. Like someone in a walker, for example....no, I doubt they would be able to drive for example:)

Depends on the senior. I've seen some 65 yo that shouldn't be on the road then their's my grandma that's 87 and sharper than many drivers on the road. Maybe yearly evaluations after a certain age.

Maybe yearly evaluations after a certain age.

Why discriminate against seniors they are just people too! I mean they are human beings, treat them as such, it is their right to drive!

Saying so doesn't make it so. Go read a DMV manual.

I can't read, I am a blind senior citizen! Stop picking on me

How about reading" United States Declaration of Independence" and the "Among these inalienable rights, as proclaimed in that great document, is the right of men to pursue their happiness". Wouldn't that count? Driving is my happiness so
