How come there's a minimum age limit ?

Question

for issuing a drivers license.. and there's no "maximum" age limit?

I mean sometimes senior citizens cause disasters as well

Answer 1

Because the cotton tops still have voting rights and the politicians are scared of that.  

Answer 2

Excuse me folks, there is indeed a limit for seniors. However, it has nothing to do with age, since the correlation between age and motor skills comes close to zero after 45. But in most states seniors do have to take a driving exam every so often. If they can't pass it, their license will be revoked. Also, an eye examination is required upon renewal, and if a senior fails it, his/her license will be revoked.

Answer 3

a driver has to be over 18 to ask for a test and get a licence .

every time the licence expires , the driver has to undergo physical tests and pass them befoore he can get it renewed .

so, it is all under control .

Answer 4

Good question ..

Makes sense .. barakatak ya matata :p

Answer 5

Use your head, Hatem.  It is a recognized statistic, in EVERY country in the world, that the vast majority of motor accidents are NOT caused by experienced SENIOR drivers, but by inexperienced teen-age drivers...many of whom have not been driving long enough to know how to react in dangerous situations.  

In America, however, there are TESTS that older drivers must take in order to insure that they are STILL capable of driving safely...mostly eye tests, and comprehension tests....before their license can be re-newed.  

Answer 6

As Fraspa said "they r near to the end" :D

But who said they can't drive?!!

They drive and drive and drive me crazy from excess flirting with young girls.

Answer 7

most teens younger than the minimum are not responsible enough to drive.

Answer 8

children do not know how to drive.  They can't reach the pedals or see over the dashboard.  That's why.

Answer 9

Lol, I Drove car once  it was an empty car lot, and my Father was trying to get me ready so once I'm 18 I release a driving license, I was 13 then

Answer 10

Your question make sense it should be a maximum age at 65.

Answer 11

you actually have a point: to apply some medical examination when renewing the license registration. to make sure that they are NOT suffering from any kind of disabilities that could hinder their driving effienacy (like vision, hearing,)

Answer 12

Hahahahahahaha!  I can't stop giggling.

Maybe because they think that senior citizens are still adults and more responsible than the young ones.  Or maybe they don't care because they think they're already close to the end whereas the teenagers are just starting their lives...  Just sharing what came up in my mind... no thumbs down please....

Answer 13

because who wants to see a 9 or 13 yr old on the road no 1 though i do agree their should be a maximim age limit
