An over-80 question
Recently, I went to renew my driver’s license because I’m at that magic age where the state says, “You must be tested because you’ve been driving for 64 years without an accident, but we don’t trust you because you’re old now.” Anyway, I made an appointment for 2:30, arrived at 2:10 and checked in. Went to sit in the waiting area and at 4:15 one of the clerks asked what my number was. I told her, and she looked on the computer and couldn’t find it. Then they rushed me through with no problems. I passed with the instructor saying, “You did an excellent job.”
My question is, I wonder if there is any way to find out how many over-80 folks fail the test? I’m betting it’s a low number just like over-80 accidents.
