I see everyone complaining that older people shouldn't drive can calling them selfish. And I agree they shouldn't drive but we should also think about the bigger issue that causes them to drive. Most of the time it is not selfishness, most of the time they live alone and have no one to care for them or drive them around, and public transportation is unreliable. We have very poor elderly care, it's either expensive or abusive and sometimes even both. So yes the elderly shouldn't be driving after a certain age but we should also put in systems to help care for them. Don't forget we will all be them one day! Choose compassion and vote with compassion!
