In Japan, police are concerned about the rising number of traffic accidents caused by drivers who are over the age of 65, so police have joined with businesses in a novel campaign to encourage seniors to hand over their drivers licenses.
While one department store is offering free delivery for seniors who give up driving, and a hotel chain is offering discounts, perhaps the most enticing deal of all comes from a bank.
It is now advertising special interest rates for seniors who "have the courage" — as the campaign Web site says — to hand over their licenses and stop driving.
