]]> <![CDATA[]]> How many of these incidents is it going to take until they FINALLY require MANDATORY license evaluations every year after you turn 65. Im sick of hearing the excuse that they were disoriented. How many people have to die at farmers markets and other places of business because old people suck at driving. They also need to raise the age required to start driving to 18 as well

I used to wonder how people who couldn't find their way out of a parking lot or drove on the wrong side of the road in front of my kids' school managed to find their way from the NE to FL as snowbirds. The auto train. Thanks, Amtrak!

No.

Anyway, I'd be checking for ties between the old guy and the company that makes or installed the new barrier system.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> "[...] but 9/11 changed everything," he said.

Now that 9/11 has come and gone (nearly seven years ago, people), everything is terr'ist related.

Xkeeper

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Shouldn't there be something keeping people from driving onto a runway... intentionally or otherwise?

@ridbaxter:

I, also, got a good chuckle out of that.

thank you... I think I'm going to use that as my signature from now on.

You're 100% correct. Why should every story automatically DEFAULT to terrorism? Just ridiculous
