Between the ages 65 and 80 can have a huge decline in people's mental and physical health. I would like to see crash states for people 80+
Me too, but the numbers are likely so small that stats Canada has to lump everything into 65+.
See, old people don't generally speed or drive recklessly, so they probably aren't causing many fatal accidents. In fact, people get pissed off with older drivers because they drive so slow. ๐
I'd love to know how many 80+ drivers we have in ontario, because the population over 80 is pretty small.
And those "slow drivers" are probably just doing the speed limit. Seems the norm is 15-20 over the maximum, so whats the point of having the maximum anyway?
@FireRetardant @Showroom7561 It's a subtle reminder that we should always push the limits and burn more fossil fuel while we are at it.
