I’m trying to figure out why you guys in the comments talk about illegal immigrants cause people got hit by a car what does that have to do with anything?
At flushing user comment. I’m the same. I walk with two large dogs and I cannot tell you how many times cats just blow through stop signs and lights. I never cross against light and at stop signs I don’t move until theirs eye contact. Had too many close calls. At night and in winter I put lights on my dogs’ collars.
Everyone does not age the same, people saying older people should lose their license need to look at factual data before making a blanket statement that is age discrimination
Once your 80 no driving.... let someone drive you wherever you need to go.
