Wow, at 100 I think working would be the last thing on my mind! I guess if he enjoys it he might as well but he drives a Buick LeSabre, someone should buy that man a Cadillac! Best of luck to him.

hope he doesn't die behind the wheel and take someone else with him! scary

That's pretty remarkable. One can't help but think if someone should have pulled his license a long time ago. His reflexes just can't be what they should be no matter how good of condition he is in.
We can only hope no one gives him a cell phone too!

No doubt. Once you get a license, you never have to prove your driving ability again, ever. My grandfather drove in his 80s, there were black skid-marks 50 yards each way from his driveway where he'd pulled out in front of people so many times. We took his car, finally. It was getting ridiculous, and dangerous.

my commute is a grand total of 7.5 miles round trip and i complain of people driving too slow and too many traffic lights

in fact i don't look elsewhere for another job because i like my short commute and don't want to drive anywhere else

I can only hope that if I live that long I'll still be driving. Freedom of mobility as in driving is truly a right to cherish.
