It ain't gonna happen. At lot of people feel like older drivers have paid their dues. They're entitled to take a few young whippersnappers out. Seriously, do you know the kind of political clout an organization like AARP has? They're like an 800-lb gorilla.

isnt it technically impaired driving?

or is medication not considered a DRUG

Sure, but if it isn't an illegal drug, law enforcement is totally going to let it slide. And never mind that grandma can't see past the hood of the car and can't remember which foot goes on the brake. Old people vote more often than young people do, and you can bet they write their legislators more often too. If anyone proposes making it harder for old people to keep their licenses, the gray lobby like AARP will unleash their power like a gigantic dump truck full of used Depends.
