Senior moment

MIAMI -- A 93-year-old Florida motorist hit a pedestrian, killing him and severing his leg, and then kept driving three miles to a toll bridge with the corpse stuck in his windshield, police said. A tollbooth attendant called authorities in St. Petersburg, and police reported that Ralph Thomas Parker "did not realize he had been involved in a crash."

We were just discussing this on Causticity's Place

I think over the age of 65 requires eye exams, and retaking both the driving and written parts of the drivers test.

There should be a national driving test requirement for seniors when they reach 60 or 65. It wouldn't be a problem for the able-bodied senior to pass such a test.
