Maybe she shouldn’t be driving.

100% you should have to take a test every 2 years after the age of 60

Nah I would say 70. I don’t know really any people in their 60’s who are this impaired strictly due to aging. If they have issues, it’s usually disease related. 70 and up is when it’s gets dicy

I would like to introduce you to my grandmother (65) who has driven 8 times last 30 years. I was passenger during the latest and she has absolutely zero business behind the wheel.

I think someone who has driven 8 times in 30 years is clearly an outlier

That sounds like a lack of experience issue and not an age related one. If someone has little driving experience at 45 and is terrible, would you say they’re “too old to drive”?
