    93 years old? might be a good time to hang up the car keys.

    God! the weekend is only a pup, yet, people are already busy hanging out their dirty laundry.

    lol Eb…. my pop used to be like that, and it frustrated the hell out of me. He was like 85, and refused to stop driving, yet he really wasnt strong enough to operate a vehicle at all, but his vision was fine.

    After 3 major accidents, he was finally asked to hand over his license. I couldnt beleive it took that long before anyone did anything, but apparently there is no law to stop anyone from driving at any age, unless they cant see.
