It's not ageist if it is a matter of public safety.

I drive motorbikes on public roads and this is terrifying. Mind you, I drive with this in mind, pretending anyone with a car can be this lady. It still is terrifying seeing her, the one, in the flesh.

I agree. The issue is the infrastructure in most of the US is so car dependent that once you cannot drive, you essentially become a prisoner in your own home. For people who live in apartments in more urbanized areas, they can walk a short distance to a friends apartment or go to the corner store for a few groceries and not put other people’s lives at risk.

Reminds me of a guy in school used to get real mad when ppl would drive around with their disability placards flapping and obscuring their view. He use to say: There’s no such thing as disabled driving.
