It's Wednesday and the middle of the week makes me think about the interesting questions in my world. Here is the question bouncing around under this week's hat. Feel free to comment on the question (or the hat, the hat for that matter). I may even give away something for the comment that makes me laugh (or think) the most. Have fun with it!
Why don't we give older drivers another competency test when they reach 65? How many septuagenarians need to fall asleep at the wheel and drive their car into a bunch of health conscious, environmental aware bikers before we start checking on these ticking time bombs?!?! It's not being ageist: we do the same thing to younger citizens. We make them prove that they are road worthy. Why don't we do the same to people who have proved that they are suspect? Do we need more of a sign that a left blinker that's been on for 17 miles and then they make a right?
These are my thoughts...what are yours?

Hubby and I were just talking about this the other day when a grandpa veered over into oncoming traffic just before his wife grabbed the wheel..we could almost hear the conversation:
"Abner!"
"WHAT!"
"Abner, you're drifting"
"WHAT?"
"Abner, turn the wheel"
"WHAT?"
"Oh, for heaven sakes, I'll do it"
"WHAT?"
