My elderly neighbor went for a drive at 4pm and apparently he hasn't come back. Nobody knows where he is. The police are at his house.

I'm sorta hoping he skipped town, but I know that's not what happened.

Yeah, I'm gonna guess not. He's like, half-blind. And he's been gone five hours.

Yeeeah, the DMV over here is just, really full of fail.

You can get a license and keep it so easy.

2011-09-24T02:09:55.000Z
They make old people take the test pretty often, but apparently it's easy enough for a half-blind guy to pass.

My boyfriend's grandma stopped driving. They passed her, but SHE decided she couldn't see well enough to drive, so she stopped.

2011-09-24T02:11:40.000Z
And my grandma? LOL still on the road, even though she's shaky, vision-impaired, reflex-impaired, and drunk nearly 100% of the time.

Yeah me too. I'm kind of harsh about the driving, but I still don't want the guy hurt.

He's kind of crotchety and old, but he was never a jerk to me. So here's hoping he's ok.

I think over here. You passed your test and you get a license until you're 60 or 70... then you have to retake. Not sure how often, though.
princerat
2011-09-24T02:53:02.000Z
Ah. You have to renew your license every like, 4 or 8 years here. If you got tickets, you have to come in and take the written test.
princerat
2011-09-24T02:53:11.000Z
I had to do that, it was pathetically easy.
princerat
2011-09-24T02:53:15.000Z
And I'm not totally sure, but I think it's only people over 80 who HAVE to take the test again, even if they have a good driving record?

I don't know when the vision tests and shit come into play.

Over here, if you get six points on your license within your first two years of driving, you have to resit your whole test.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
2011-09-24T03:16:08.000Z
You get points for stuff like speeding or Drink-Driving.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
2011-09-24T03:16:39.000Z
And I think if you get 12 points, instant ban. For... somewhere between six months and two years. I can't remember.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
2011-09-24T03:16:47.000Z
Then you'll have to retake your test.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
2011-09-24T03:17:30.000Z
But only thing we have to do is renew your photo every ten years
WHAAAAAAAAT.
2011-09-24T03:19:15.000Z
WE GET POINTS HERE TOO. Hitting a pedestrian I THINK is 6 points. /has never taken the written test
princerat
2011-09-24T03:21:02.000Z
XDDD Hitting a guy on a bike is ten. Stroller with a baby is like, 100.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
2011-09-24T03:27:19.000Z
Most offences can be given up to ten points. Things like speeding, talking on to phone is 3 - 6 points.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
2011-09-24T03:27:40.000Z
Death by dangerous driving is up to 10 points and it'll stay on your lisence for 11 years.

Yeah. I don't WANT to get my license. My mom was going to make me take the written test so I could have an ID, but then she caved
WHAAAAAAAAT.
2011-09-24T03:37:57.000Z
and just got us state IDs instead.
princerat

Gotcha. Nothing wrong with a state ID. I had one of those until I got my license, which wasn't til age 18.

I guess I gotta ask though, any reason why you don't wanna drive?

Plus, I can't control other drivers and that freaks me out even more.
