I hope so too. My mother-in-law was very bad. Her attitude was, it was OK as long as she didn't go too fast. This would result in her going 25 in a 50 on a 5-lane highway. She had more than one fender-bender but managed to avoid blame somehow. The whole family was trying to get her to stop but she wouldn't--she went doctor shopping to find one that would say she was OK to drive.

I personally think there are a ton of incompetent idiots on the road of all ages. I would favor blanket re-testing of all drivers periodically.
