I agree too. If can't figure out which pedal is which, he shouldn't be driving, that's just reckless, and age isn't an excuse.
I think once you reach about 65, you need to be tested either every year or every other year. Is it agist? Maybe, but every time I see my 70+ year old grandmother get behind the wheel, I'm just waiting to hear that she hit someone, again. And I'm constantly annoyed by elderly drivers who drive well below the speed limit on major streets. If you don't feel you can drive 35 in a 35, then you probably shouldn't be taking this road. All it does is annoy drivers and make them do stupid things to get around them. I don't expect people to go speeding down streets, but come on, at least do the damned speed limit.
