I do agree with the assessment that police officers do need more training before going solo on the streets but I also see a need for more training for senior drivers. Once retirement age hits a more extensive retesting and retraining should be in place for all drivers. I recognize that my eyesight and reflexes are not what they were at 18, but not everyone is aware and may fear having less independence in the “golden years.”
I have seen enough erratic driving by seniors that if I were a police officer I would have to investigate. So yes, more sensitivity and anger management for police officers is obvious, but let’s include more training and reassessment for senior drivers as well.
