They've put in their time though. I think that if you've spent over 80 years on this earth, you should be exempt from the possibility of ever getting any kind of speeding ticket or legal infraction against you. If a ninety year old guy beats the shit out of a stock boy at a grocery store, he should not be arrested for it. He should be commended for still having the strength to do it, and then for having taking the initiative to actually do it. When I'm old and senile, I intend to average about 85-110 miles an hour on almost every road, who would really care? And would a cop really want to tell an old man to drive slower? I think not.
