these old drivers are a menace. Drive around on the first Tuesday of the month. It is shocking. The police also seem to always let them off from "infractions" due to their age. I feel all drivers once they live off the government dole should have to take a driving test. What, old people can't pay? What about low income people who could work if they had a license???
Please comment representative Gaffney

We need spending cuts now and I think your salary would be a great place to start.
