Please would you give us the reference of the first sentence of your post?

Maybe if the rest of the people posting against extra safe guards such as this did your job and had seen the results of car accidents and had to deal with the horrific things you deal with on a regular basis they may think differently.

Thank you Neil, I am sure if they did they would view things alot differently, but they are lucky enough not to so I respect their input. They think this is an isolated incident involving elderly drivers but its happening more and more, often with a fatal outcome.

How do we go about that then?

Same rules as HGV licences, medical at forty five and then every five years.

accidents are just that, accidents, they happen when one set of circumstances are effected by another set of circumstances beyond peoples control.

Absolute rubbish, most accidents are preventable with the correct safeguards in place, it just takes something terrible to happen for people to wake up and do something about it (Stable door) thats why we can't use mobile phones whilst driving and we have to wear seat belts, people ignore these rules and people die. If I fail my medical at 45 they take my HGV licence off me, it should be the same for car drivers, its called prevention - when peoples control prevent one set of circumstances effecting another set of circumstances.
