It is not "being elderly" that is the problem. You shouldn't imply that it is. People of all ages have seizers (sp?) Heart attacts and other problems. It's just when an old-fogie has one. . .

Anyway, have some perspective. Just how often do these freak accidents happen? Besides, Speeder, your a lot closer to 70 than I am . . .perhaps you should reconsider your less than flattering framing of "elderly drivers."
