With a rise in fatal accidents caused by elderly drivers; does the nation need stricter rules on licenses?

[over the mountain]

i got rear ended then side swiped by a real old lady once. she was swerving all over the road then smacked into me. it was dark, kinda icy and she said she couldnt see b/c of her defrosters.

we exchange info then her daughter calls asking me to not report the accident to her insurance and that she would pay for the repair. she said her mom was on a fixed budget, needed the car and the insurance would drop her.

i told the daughter that your mom really shouldnt be on the road. when i talked with her while were pulled over she was confused, britle and just not thinking right nor had the physical ability and reaction time to safely operate a vehicle.

long story short, i dont call her insurance and never called her daughter back so i ended up with a messed up bumper and a long streak down the driver side of my car. oe of those times i was being too good for my own good.
