'Fraid so. The "Push Grandma off the cliff" health ruination bill's being pushed hard by Saul Alinsky Zerobama.

As far as aged drivers are concerned, some need restriction or banning from the road. I have no more desire than anyone else to drive on the highway with a geezer who has an advancing case of Alzheimers or is effectively blind.

But I also steer clear of 16 year olds who have little understanding of the physics of driving and who think they're immortal. I steer clear of anyone driving with a cell phone glued to their ear; they have reaction times approximating infinity.

I'll keep driving until my eyes or reaction times begin to make me a danger to myself and others. Eyes right now are both 20/20, so I'm not too worried about it.

And I'm not holding anybody up, but shudder and carp when I get on a winding two lane road with no passing zones behind a little old gray haired lady who can barely see over the dashboard and drives 31 mph with a 50 mph speed limit. See, she's driving SAFELY (urp).

Don't worry, the "health care" will take care of that!
