I'm curious, is "30% of seniors thing" solved by having a car in the US? Here in Japan, driving by senior is getting more problematic. Senior people live in rural are hard to give up having cars because public transport is getting poor and rural town have shrunk because of car society. Older people tend to cause car accident and anyway every people finally can't drive, so gov want them to release their license earlier.
- phtrivier 4y agoIs "realising licences for old people" a thing in Japan ? I can't event imagine someone arguing for that in France. (Old people are practically the only ones to vote in substantial numbers.) What's the typical age limit ?
- fomine3 4y agoThere are no hard age limit but over 75yo needs cognitive test when renewing license. IMO "driving by old people isn't the best way for transport" is general consensus now, even for most old people. But many people still want driving to live because there are very few alternative, and rural farmers are tend to old. Hate for old dangerous arrogance driver is increased by an notorious deadly accident in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higashi-Ikebukuro_runaway_car_accident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higashi-Ikebukuro_runaway_car_...
