Part of that is a legal issue. People over 40 are a protected class, you can’t discriminate against old people for being old. Young people can get fucked though.

Should be every 2 years past age 60.
Sorry, for every 20 year old doing 90, there’s ten seniors wobbling between 2 lanes in a giant SUV about to do a double lane change in the opposite direction of their blinker that’s been on since they left their driveway.
Ive always found it bonkers that young drivers with the sharpest reflexes are punished to the maximum from insurance to rental car rates while no one dares punitive action against people who literally lack the faculties to drive safely if they wanted to.

I say this as an old person, that’s hypocritical bullshit, but that’s humans for you.

Spent 10 years driving around in a city with a lot of retirement communities setting up home medical equipment. Was a daily blight for me.
