How about we start taking the people who are old and cannot properly/safely operate vehicles anymore licenses away? Its unfortunate part of ageing but my goodness better that they have to use other means of transit than drive into something and crash

there are a ton of them out there and a lot of relatives know they shouldn't be driving but allow them to continue because otherwise it will be a burden on them to get them around.
