Turned 65, Threw A/Z In The Garbage

Dear Editor:

I have had a safe driving record since I was 18 years of age, in long distance tractor-trailers. I turned 65 last February and found I had to go write so many tests, borrow/rent a truck and trailer then prove that I can drive a big rig! All of a sudden because I’m now 65, all my experience, knowledge and safe driving is disregarded.

Last February my A/Z licence went right into the garbage pail.

This is total discrimination!
