You're too old to drive!

[Cal Sibley]

That's the message I seem to be getting from Motor Vehicles. I had a stroke last year, but feel pretty good now. By law, your family doctor has to notify Motor Vehicles of this and other conditions that could affect your driving. Motor Vehicles called me in for a bunch of reaction tests on a computer ($400. out of pocket expense) and a thorough road test. I was kept on small
residential, snow covered streets for the entire test. I was told I could probably pass the test but needed a few driver lessons at $75. a pop. before re-attempting the drivers test. Incidentally I was kept on the roiad for 40 minutes. I think normally it's about 20 minutes. My learners permit specifies I drive an automatic transmision which I haven't driven in years. Hey, it's my $20,000 for a new vehicle, not theirs. I've never been so disgusted in my life. It's the first time I've felt discriminated due to age, and of course I don't like it. I agree with safety above all else, but feel they're loading the deck. Has anyone else got this feeling lately? Best wishes.
