    Lol I had the same procedure and sat in my car after calling someone to come pick me up, but they took too long and I decided to just drive myself anyways. I couldn’t read signs, but traffic lights and other cars were visible enough. I bet there are a lot of old people on the road driving around regularly with eyesight that bad or worse.

      To your last point:

      Oh yeah, I am of the strong opinion that everyone should need to fully redo their drivers test, written and practical, every 5 years, hit 60, every 3 years, hit 72, every single year.

      There are way too many idiots who don’t know how to drive, and driving is such a … multi faceted skill that requires so many of your body processes to be working well… and basically all of those start to nose dive after a certain age.
