And why don't they get retested when they beome a certain age especilally when they take medicatons?i cant stand that when any kind of person takes medication still drive! also i hate slow drivers it feel like im going to have natures accident i dont care if its called discrimiantion the roads would be safer
i can reply to your elder driver question too but you might not like it. someone will shoot you in the face for being an impatient roadrager long before an old timer will kill you.. they have been paying taxes on these roads since the roads were built. i dont really appreciate horses on the backroads but in fairness the horses actually built them . slow down and savor life..
As far as 'old people' not showering, there are a variety of reasons why they fear the shower. Sometimes it is dementia that creates an actual fear of water with our elders. Balance and fear of falling are also big issues. I'm glad you asked the question and hopefully it will help you gain some understanding about the aging process. God willing, we'll all be there someday.
And should you live long enough to get to an "older person's" age, I can assure you that you will be slower, your balance and reflexes will be slower, and there will be some young jerk pointing at you saying, "get out of my way old man, and you smell too." What goes around ALWAYS comes around.
My suggestion is that if this is a big problem for you, go pee before you leave and leave a couple of minutes earlier. The world isn't all about you. It really isn't!
my 2 daughters works in NH . they all tell my daughters to leave cuz they dont want showers ! hahaha , sponge bath or showers and its always sponge bath ...
