Being an 80-year-old guy and having to spend $200 out of pocket to prove that I still have the faculties to drive safely annoys me and makes me feel unfairly dealt with. Not because I had to spend the $200 since I have a savings account. However, there are many seniors who are not as fortunate as I am, and ICBCB次元官网网址檚 demand for a doctorB次元官网网址檚 confirmation of our health condition and capabilities is a hardship.
It is my belief that these costs should be covered by ICBC. I donB次元官网网址檛 know whether anyone can imagine the importance of a driverB次元官网网址檚 licence to us old guys, and it isnB次元官网网址檛 that we disagree with testing at our age. ItB次元官网网址檚 just questionable who should pay for the tests?
It would be interesting to determine how much ICBC spends on various PR and promotional undertakings that would probably be better spent on supporting seniors over 80 who are required to be medically tested.
