Passing your driving test doesn't instantly make you a good driver. Being a good driver takes years of practise. When you pass your test you can drive almost any car from a little 500cc Fiat to a Ferarri if you had the money.


The Goverment should introduce the same licensing rules as they do with motorcycles. If you're 17 you can drive upto a 124cc machine get to 25 and take the full test you drive anything from 49cc scooter right up to a Suzuki Huyabusa.

Back on topic I have no problems with pensioners driving but as you get older your reactions get slower.

They should be tested after a certain age to see if they are in a fit state to drive.

My dad is profoundly deaf and was driving buses till 1985 he is still driving today.
