Letters to the Editor: Why is the DMV allowed to practice age discrimination? (via latimesopinion )
Many drivers over 70 years old who must take a test to renew their license most likely remember Jesse Unruh, the longtime California legislator who authored the Unruh Civil Rights Act. The law established that no California business shall discriminate against anyone for any reason, including age.
Drivers starting from ages 16 to 69 can simply renew without a test. Is that fair or equitable to drivers who are over the age of 70?I know seniors who are giving up their license simply because they do not want to deal with going to the DMV or are intimidated by its non-user-friendly technology. That is wrong.
If only firearms were as regulated as vehicles on the public roadways, our society would function in a saner and safer fashion.Steve Lopez’s column on license renewal for seniors hit it on the nose.
