Parents Advocate Competency Tests For Older Drivers After Their Son Is Hit & Killed

No one knew a ride home from the Farmers’ Market would be the last for 20-year-old Nathan Krasnopoler.
 Now his parents only have pictures to remember their gifted middle child.

“Oh, it’s just heartbreaking,” Susan Cohen, Nathan Krasnopoler’s mother, said. “We really thought that Nathan would figure out a solution to some world problem.”

If I hear another Tayvon Martin comment, I will have to go to Walmart and show how white people are nice. How does Seau stuff become a Travon Martin case?

With groups like AARP "teaching" seniors how to drive at an advanced age, politicians scared of Seniors because they vote, doctors afraid of losing patients if they report them to the DMV, and families that just don't care, as long as they are not inconvenienced, nothing is going to change.

Seniors may not be involved in as many accidents, but how many do they cause?

Driving is a priviledge granted to you by the state, not a right.
