Re: To old to drive?

Surely they shouldn't be excluded from a thread that wants to make roads safer?

Or was the point of the thread just to blacken the name of a man involved in a tragic accident, the results and reasons for which we can only speculate as no official statement has yet been announced?
Its not about blackening peoples names, it wasn't his fault this tragedy took place (and I am not speculating). And I am not saying the elderly should have to stop driving, what I am saying is that when you get to a certain age some sort of annual testing including medical should be carried out. Its about getting something done so its not my son next time crushed up against a wall. Young/bad drivers are another issue which needs addressing.

I wonder if you would have posted this thread had the driver been 49.
Or if the driver had been young and high on recreational drugs...but still dead.
Yes I would but probably under a different heading.
