lovin' the rx8 cop car.
I recently wrote a paper on this subject, but in America and found that very elderly drivers have a higher accident rate than new drivers. This is a great idea, but not necessarily an effective solution.

RX8 is nothing there in Japan, they even got RX7 FD, R34 GTR, STI, EVO, NSX cop cars. and i think they are just way cooler than a Gallardo Polizia.

I like the RX-8 cop car too. We get stuck with vintage Crown Vics for the most part here.

MANY ELDERLY DRIVERS ARE RELUCTANT TO GIVE UP THEIR DRIVING PRIVELIGES FOR FEAR OF LOSING THEIR INDEPENDENCE. MANY ELDERLY PERSONS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE THEY LIVE TOO FAR OR IMPAIRED AND UNABLE TO USE IT. TRANSPORTATION FOR THE ELDERLY IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE A NECESSITY. AUTHORITIES CLAIM THEY CANNOT DEDICATE FUNDS FOR THE ELDERLY TRANSPORTATION.
WITH THE AGING OF THE BABY BOOMERS, WHO WILL BE REACHING SIXTY-FIVE PLUS, WE ARE FACING A CRISES.

Drivers of every age should be tested on an individual basis. My 2 policeman sons and 1 policeman son-in-law say, speed is the number killer on the road. Look at the car commercials!! Burning rubber, spinning, driving "where no man should never go" bragging about H.P. Inexperienced young people, expecially girls, scare me to death. They are behind the wheel of a legal weapon, changing lanes constantly, sitting low in the saddle. I agree with you on many issues, but why do insurance companies have such high rates for young people? Lower for kids with good grades?
