| 0:00.0 | Experts are looking at an upcoming issue that we may have upwards of 70 million boomers who are |
| 0:05.2 | officially too old to drive, but they're too car dependent to stop. I heard it was specifically, |
| 0:11.1 | not so much of the car, well, car dependent because of where they live. If you don't live in a major |
| 0:15.9 | city that has, you know, a great metro or something like that, like you said, or Ted, the guy in |
| 0:20.6 | Montana, you're 70, you can't drive. I mean, he's going to drive. Yeah. He's not taking the subway to hold. It's very hard to get the car away from them. Yes. Right? Like, my mom nowadays will forget a lot of stuff. She will bring up that damn car almost every time. What did? We sold it to my niece. Oh, good. Well, somebody can use it. Correct. And she doesn't need it, right? Like, she's in a facility. My sister can pick her. I mean, hell, they have a little shuttle bus. You go to the store whenever she wants. But they, I think it feels like taking away part of their freedom. It absolutely. Because even my other cousins, like their grandfather the same way, he's just, and he's not sicker and he's, his mind's just going a little bit. And it's like, man, you got, I think you got to at least retest them. Well, and the thing is that as you age, you, you revert back kind of into your same situation as being a child. And so you, the problem is that with children, look, there are 14-year-olds who are probably good enough to drive, and they could drive better than some of the people that are out there. But we have that hard age limit. You can't be, you can't drive until you're 16. We don't have that on the other side. You just eventually lose your ability to hold that facility and we, we haven't given ourselves. Right, we haven't given ourselves any strength to be able to say you can't do this. I mean, it happened to me yesterday. This lady and I, like, I didn't honk my horn out. I was just like, what is this? And then you get around there and it's like just a really old lady. I'm like, oh, she has no idea. She's terrified. |
| 1:44.7 | Correct. |
| 1:45.1 | Exactly. |
| 1:45.7 | But she has to go to the grocery store or whatever. |
| 1:47.8 | Exactly. But she has to go to the grocery store or whatever. Exactly. |
| 1:48.9 | And kudos to my granddad. He got into one accident years ago and it was the last time that he |
| 1:54.7 | drove. You know, it just, he was on the freeway. He couldn't stop in time. It was a fender bender. |
| 1:58.5 | It was nothing terrible, but it was in traffic and he jammed on the brakes and he couldn't stop in time. It was a fender bender. It was nothing terrible, but it was in traffic, and he jammed on the brakes, and he couldn't stop in time. |
| 2:02.0 | And at that moment, he said, I can't do it anymore. I mean, that's the reason you have laws against driving, whether you're drinking or doing drugs, right? Because you're altered, and your reaction time is slower. Correct. So same thing with old people. Their reaction time is just slower. Right. |
| 2:16.0 | And that includes being tired. |
| 2:18.1 | Yeah. |
| 2:18.8 | Don't have to be altered at all. |
| 2:19.9 | So, you know what? |
| 2:20.6 | I decided to expand on that. old people, their reaction time is just slower. Right. And that includes being tired. Yeah. |
| 2:18.8 | Don't have to be altered at all. So, you know what? I decided to expand on that. |
| 2:21.6 | The min's room top 10. The minstrup top 10. So I decided driving is one thing that at some point, |
| 2:33.8 | all of us in this room, we'll need to just kind of decide we're probably done doing that. So I decided driving is one thing that at some point, all of us in this room, we'll need to just kind of decide we're probably done doing that. |
