Self-serving data
Was it really necessary to change the system [“Test accuracy raises senior-driving questions,” March 30] that served everyone the same way for more than 100 years, just to profit on some technology that divides us?
By coming up with some self-serving data that makes no sense, picking the age of 80 shows only that they are trying to get a majority on their side. It has nothing to do with safety, but has a very bad effect on the seniors who wish to live a normal life. There are so many reasons to stop this insanity.
It is good to have seniors active. It gives them a purpose in life, to feel needed, not the way the Insurance Corporation of BC (ICBC) makes seniors feel unwanted by discriminating; telling them of all the problems they are causing the public.
I have nothing but contempt for the way ICBC has been treating our seniors.
Losing your driver’s licence can be a matter of life and death. When your life is changed so dramatically, seniors have a tendency of giving up on life and end up in the extended care unit.
