ok i dont agree with him giving up driving but what i do think should happen is that when you are of a certain age you should have to re-sit your test to see if you are still capable of driving

I think that once you are over 70 you have to undergo a medical every 3 years to assess your ability to remain a driver.

Apparently it's got to be renewed every 3 years, from the age of 70

At least no-one was hurt in the accident. It could have been worse if it had happened on the road.

You only have to retake you test if ordered by the court. This guy may not have had an accident before but how many has he caused, my Father was still driving at 83 but he shouldn't have been, he was a danger to himself and other road users
