Do horses still have 'right-of-way?' There is no question that everyone has a stake in highway safety and that competency standards for drivers are ethical and necessary. Age is a factor in these competencies so we don't allow children to drive until they reach age 16, which we have somehow divined to be the right point to start. It also seems reasonable to set standards at the other end of life since it is a scientific fact that aging diminishes driving competencies. |
