An elderly person pulled out in front of a big truck, and it didn't look good. I make a point not to gawk, but from what I saw, it was clearly the old guy's fault. Makes you wonder... I don't think it's ageism to take away someone's license because they no longer have the faculties to operate a vehicle safely. That's just acting in the public trust.</p> http://houstonist.com/2007/02/15/bill_would_mand.php#comment-1013662 http://houstonist.com/2007/02/15/bill_would_mand.php#comment-1013662 Comments Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:26:23 -0600 <p>Is the test going to be based on Leon Hale's around-the-loop driving test that he gives himself once a year? I hope so.</p>
