A state senator in Tennessee urinated on himself while taking a field sobriety test, according to reports and video from the incident. Sen. Ken Yager, a 77-year-old Republican representing a district in the north of his state, was pulled over by a Georgia State trooper around 5 p.m. on Tuesday on suspicion his vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run the same day.
No sympathy for him, but it got me wondering if it’s really fair to subject elderly people and others who have difficulty standing to the “walk the line” test.
It’s they don’t have the motor skills to walk, then they probably don’t have the motor skills to drive.
