ISeeOldPeople Jan. 14, 2020 Vic and Anne interview about driveABLE
Tuesday Jan 14, 2020
Tuesday Jan 14, 2020
Dr. Bruce dives into the world of investigative journalism as he questions the driveABLE driving testing system in Ontario. In interviews with Vic and Anne it is clear how the system is rigged against the senior. The driveABLE testing is targeting the Silent generation (Over 80 yrs old) and is costing seniors money as well as having their driver's license revoked. This targeting of a particular group is in violation of the Human Rights Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
My advise: If you are not experiences any trouble with driving or with your memory then do not consult your health care professional. Even asking about either could result in you being fast tracked to having your driver's licence revoked! Be safe but be cautious, as a senior you are being targeted.
