There's several great articles here about this upcoming phenomenon which will surely change society and products in a radical way. Speaking as one who has several relatives who should probably not be driving (and as a person who utilizes the roadways in a disproportionate fashion as an avid driver and motorcycle rider), I can tell you that we're heading in the wrong direction.

I'm pretty sure that I've paid more into the insurance risk pool as a habitual speeder than ANY senior driver has despite the fact that the risk is probably greater for any given senior. But because of tremendous lobby effort and the pending "ME generation" entering into seniority, we'll likely never see the proper laws and management put into place until it's way too late.
