If you cannot see, you should not drive. I still feel the driving age should be raised. I did not have a car in college. I lived on campus and used public transportation, even in the small town where my college was located. In fact, for my part-time job, I chose a job where I could walk. Public transportation is a great resource. I agree that older folks need to have more regular eye tests, especially here in FL where the elderly population is so high.

I still feel the driving age should be raised. I did not have a car in college. I lived on campus and used public transportation, even in the small town where my college was located. In fact, for my part-time job, I chose a job where I could walk.

Public transportation is a great resource.

They need a car to get places. At 18 the adults finish high school. If they don't have a car they will probably fail college. At 21 the adults are in college and will be working part time... how in the hell are they supposed to do that? And a lot more homicides occur from ages 30-40. So your argument makes no sense. Why don't we crack down on all the older people who drive without glasses and are legally blind??? At 16 kids get jobs.. They need a car to get places. At 18 the adults finish high school.
