Are you comfortable driving on the road along with elderly folks?
I sure am not. I would feel comfortable if the elders had their personal driver or the city comes up with a new transportation system for the elders.
I've had few incidents on the street where I could have had a major car accident due to elder drivers.
Elders do not have a keen driving skill and their driving focus is their front view, not the cars around them. Alot of times, elders do not look to their left or the right before making a lane change and that is where we need to pay more attention to.
Nobody wants to get into a car accident. We want to be safe and not worry about getting into an accident.
Glad to see this commentary on the Poly Post (Oct. 21).
