Im gonna keep it 💯with you , you are able and within your right to think that it doesnt matter that she's 82 .

But in my opinion I already know there's gonnabe some landmark study or studies thst comes out that proves thst people at or around the ages of 70-75+ should not be driving at all since people of this age tend to lack coordination , reaction time, and awareness of many of the driving related events happening around them.

I wish I had compiled it but something Ive noticed is that in hit-and-run stories is thst you will find a disturbingly common trend of seeing that a very old senior 'hit something or someone' , 'never noticed it was there before', 'and kept on going cause they thought it was nothing' .

There comes an age when you just have to accept thst youre just too old to do some things. Not a single paid athlete in basketball anywhere in the world has been able to stay io that profession past the age of 51..... there is a reason for this...

Never allow your ego to betray your understanding of humanity and your understanding of your biology.
