Elderly People and Driving Regulations

I have mixed emotions about making people over 65 get recertified to drive. I believe strongly, with the statistics, that older people should drive because they are more prone to accidents, and their ability to use their motor skills to their optimal potential is hindered. The recertification test could decrease the number of fatalities when it comes to automobiles. I believe if the recertification test is put into place, that older people should also take a class and pass it on the dangers of driving while elderly.
The cons to having older people get recertified include the fact that it kind of takes away their independence, almost back to baby step days. They are humans and adults, but making them take the test is somewhat belittled. Just like we have anti discriminatory laws in the work place we should have them when it comes to using public safety.
