Old People Behind the Wheel

When I was a bicycle messenger I saw it 5 times a day; old people driving huge, American made pollution machines dangerously. They were dangerous for several reasons: poor eyesight, slow reflexes, etc... So I am very happy to see that George R. Weller will probably spend the rest of his life behind bars for his part in killing several people when he drove his car into a pedestrian only farmer's market. I have long advocated for old people to either stop driving or have to pass more rigorous eye and reflex tests in order to keep their licenses. Perhaps this court case will force states to implement such laws.
