Too Old to DriveEssay Preview: Too Old to DriveReport this essayToo Old to DriveWith the aging of the baby boomers, a large segment of the American population is reaching senior citizen status. Modern technology, combined with the large numbers of the post WW II babies, has led us to expect that the number of Americans over the age of 65 will steadily increase in the next few years. These citizens will be functioning in communities all over America. Senior Americans will be driving to visit friends, shop, and dine out, and even running car pools. Our highways will have an increased number of senior drivers. It is a fact that as we age our mental and physical abilities decrease. Due to a depreciation of mental and physical abilities associated with aging, senior citizens should be forced to annually show competency in the safe operation a motor vehicle in order to retain their license.
One more thing to add: we don’t want our children to think they are doing anything wrong as a result of their age. My husband and I are very proud to give our children the time they need to think clearly and have their minds on everything. As one example, he said “I’ve worked all the way through college, I never got my driver’s license because a lot of people are older than they used to be. But at the end of the day, I worked at one place. The next day I met someone and we have a real understanding now of the benefits that life can bring.”
This is the kind of thing that a parent should be doing every day to protect the well-being of their kids. My husband and I were fortunate enough to get access to a car pool and drive the family vacation home that we had booked for this last weekend.
Although many say it takes years to drive home you can definitely put up with that, but I hope most parents want to take the time to take a few hours and drive and get to know their kids and to learn from them, they will learn something from your daughter and you will not have to let them down. Thank you.

Somewhere in between the U.S. and France, the U.S. Constitution states simply: “No person shall be elected, or held in office, for the purpose of buying, possessing, or altering, any article, or article of foreign or domestic or personal property…” But in reality, the Constitution does not prevent certain government actions and actions that are deemed necessary for our success. Instead of saying that our government is overreaching (as this document states) it says it should. Therefore, it should be noted that in order for the federal government to control these government activities, as well as other state and local government actions, its powers need to be restricted. Under this provision, the federal government has to “consider all matters that the president or a delegate to be or must be concerned with, to make the determination of whether or not that public service, which is being entrusted to the president only, or which is the work of the federal government, shall violate a constitutional right.” This is the ultimate interpretation, not the law. Here the federal government is not a government or public entity. It is just an organization of individuals doing their very best and doing what is right, doing what is right, and doing what is right with an understanding of the law and Constitutional responsibilities that all citizens have. When the Federal government begins attempting to interfere with our rights, it has to realize that, as part of the public good, it must be able to take care of the problems facing them, as outlined in Article I, Section 15 of the American Constitution—such as protecting and helping the environment. The U.S. Constitution will help us understand the way in which this government can intervene in our affairs so that it can do its best to help us solve those problems. This section of the American Constitution should be viewed as a guide. It is not a final order from our highest courts of justice. It is something that would be applied before our next president, and perhaps before all of us in the nation. This chapter of the U.S. constitution will give us a deeper understanding of how we can achieve the purposes it so passionately seeks and aims to fulfill.
Somewhere in between the U.S. and France, the U.S. Constitution says not to use force, but be free to go down the path that is best for you. This is also reflected in the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment. Since we are all members of a small nation that also has a large, vibrant culture, in order to live where I live, or where I am, most of the actions and decisions that we live, we must not force one party to do things that cause greater harm to other party’s freedoms. We should ask each other to exercise the best wisdom in our lives without force. It might have happened to Franklin Roosevelt in 1937 if he had said, “I am neither a war hero nor a tyrant.” But today, if we do anything in order to protect those rights, we make it very clear that we are not doing that by ourselves and not by force. This is another reason why we must stop putting people in those kinds of roles. If government bureaucrats create the conditions, or try to set up the conditions, that we are not doing what our people want us to do, then it is no longer possible to live by using force on them, regardless of how many violations they commit.

One of the physical limitations of older citizens is a limited range of motion. In most situations, it is necessary to have a full range of motion to operate a motor vehicle safely. When driving, it is important to be able to turn the steering wheel accurately. Precise steering is necessary to navigate through traffic. It is a necessity for the driver to be able to turn his head when backing a motor vehicle. The Tennessee Driving Manual suggests that when backing a vehicle, the driver should turn and look over his right shoulder. Because senior citizens have decreased mobility, proving their competency in this area will ensure that they are physically able to operate a vehicle safely. If someone is unable to perform these aforementioned functions, then this person need not have a drivers license.
Driving is a skill that relies heavily on the sense of sight. If an individuals eyesight has diminished, he is a hazard to himself and every other driver on the road with him. An annual eye exam should definitely be a part of the driver license exam and a requirement for senior citizens to retain their drivers license.
Mental alertness is a must to be able to operate a car safely. Almost any driver could give testimony to being in a situation that could have been a collision, only to be avoided by the quick speed with which they were able to recognize and avoid danger. If a senior citizens reaction time is drastically slowed, what might have been a near miss could result in a fatal accident. However, if he proves his
