Picky day today, eh? An advert writer mentioning "senile" poeple would get fired soon, i assume. But they mentioned seniors (=older people) as their target audience. Well, it is not forbidden by law that older people shall keep on driving cars, but you can not rarely see old people behaving odd in street and highway traffic, reacting too late or to slow, driving to slow and moving to far to either the central or the right white line, using it for orientation. Old people lose mental abilities, that is a fate many of us will face from some early or later day on. And like it is not recommended to have such people moving cars in public traffic anymore, it is no good idea to put firearms into their hands.

I'm sure you get my idea, if only you try a bit. Over the past 18 months I remember two news about traffic accidents in Germany, the one parking his car in the window of a restaurant, and the other mistaking the stairs for the subway with the enterance of a parking deck - both accidents were attributed to the high age of the drivers. and there are many more incidents related to age that do not make it to such spectacular display.
