All good points guys. Let me make myself clear though. I am NOT saying that elderly people should not be allowed to drive, nor people over a certain age. We have elderly coming into our store every day that are sharper than I am (that's not saying much though). But I do believe that age, mixed with declining mental or physical abilities is a bad combo.

In the case of the gentleman who drove through the wall, he was a local, had lived here most of his life. He was simply "confused".

I don't know what, if any, solution there may be and I'm certainly not advocating any kind of a witch hunt.. These were simply isolated instances I onserved and commented on. I hope I didn't offend anyone or their relatives.

BTW, I realize "all the time" in my original post was a poor choice of words.
