On Tuesday, October 9, 2012 MSNBC,   nbcnews.com   posted  an article assessing the risk posed by  older drivers on U.S  roads. MSNBC's  Brian Williams, reported that  older drivers  post  great risk on the road. He said Physicians in states like Pennsylvania, California, Nevada, Oregon  Delaware and New Jersey, are required to report to the states once an elderly driver suffers a stroke. And this therefore means, a revoking of their car keys. 

      He said the elderly have most recently been the orchestrators of fatal accidents. He gave the 2003  illustration of the 86 years old lady who drove into a Santa Monica's farmers market and kill 10 people. He also made mention of a  100 years old driver in California, who recently ran into a  group  of 100 school children injuring most of them. Brian Williams was so very biased in his presentation of this  article. He showed no signs of objectivity when assessing on  this presentation.

      In America, where 10,000 people turn 65 everyday, I think an article like this was supposed to also include more and better solutions to solved this problem and not just solely focused on withdrawing seniors driver's license. Educating seniors on aging related changes and helping them know where they can access information on improving their driving skills would have made the article  more interesting. 

     Moreover, there are lots of Certified Driver's Rehabilitation Specialists, who are trained, and  nationally recognized to provide evaluation of an individual's ability to drive safe, giving issues of aging and disability. In a nutshell, I think a better approach would have been, to address issues of  lifelong mobility and,  alternative transportation options.Talk safely with older drivers as early as possible, and equally help them assess their strength  behind the wheels. Everything being equal, statistics have shown  that young drivers have more collision than older drivers.
