Troutman Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 The Italian government is considering placing a blanket ban on drivers aged 80 years or older. Claiming that the older the driver, the less alert and more easily distracted they tend to be. England’s Telegraph newspaper reports the Italian parliament’s transport committee is considering banning octogenarians from getting behind the wheel. Under current Italian legislation, Italians must renew their licences every ten years up until their 50th birthday, then every five years up to age 70, and every three years after that. Transport committee chairman, Mario Valducci, told the Telegraph that: “We must look at setting an age limit for driving - once it is passed then a licence would be taken away. “It is still at the proposal stage and it would be either around 80 or 85 years old but it is something that is being seriously considered.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Commissioned and overseen by an american CEO, to be headed by an american at amati. Silly chinks and there supporters. On a related millenia note, it was driven today, but due to extreme reasoning I was not at the wheel, instead my father was for a 2 mile trip. I actually got to watch my millenia in the rear view mirror, hear the roar of the exhaust and supercharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
