On the issue of elderley drivers. I have been the victim of an incident caused by a driver in his late 70's that clearly was not fit to drive. His ability to react quickly, his ability to process the situation that was occurring and his general lack of awareness all ended up with him crashing into me head on, despite the fact that I had seen him coming and managed to get my car almost completely off of the road! I then not only had the trauma of the actual impact but also of trying to rescue him his wife & his daughter from their overturned vehicle as it was spilling fuel everywhere! The most difficult part was getting to him so I could pull the keys from the ignition as he was frozen in place with his foot still hard on the accelerator with wheels spinning and sparks everywhere!! When eventually the Police, Fire and Ambulance arrived I was able to sit down on the ground at which point I started to shake and cry uncontrollably. I would never wish to see anyone go through what I did that day and although I accept that there are bad drivers at all ages it still makes perfect sense to me that when we reach a certain age, or maybe even if a medical professional that deals with us, feels that we may not be safe to drive, that we should have to pass some kind of test to retain our right to drive. I don't think that this should actually be age limited and could be applied at any age for a multitude of reasons but as a minimum we should have to prove our competancy again once our original licence expires in our 70's before it is renewed. As an aside, the Police reported back to me that the man that crashed into me had told them that he had been drawn to my car because it was so shiney!! (well it was only 2 weeks old )They also commented that the evidence pointed to him having panicked and pressing the accelerator rather than the brake. The court decided that if he surrendered his licence permenantly they would not pursue the case against him. I was happy enough with this as I had no desire to see the old fella dragged through court but at least he was off the road. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

I'm only 24 and people tell me all the time especially older chaps who are jealous of my success tell me I shouldn't be driving such a big car Then when the mrs drives I tell her she shouldn't be driving a big car

I don't mean when they get to 70 their car is crushed and they're banned, but every 6 months to a year they should get tested to see if they're fit to drive. if in busy time would of made that mistake due to seeing other traffic movements.

Sure over 70's make mistakes, not as quick to re act but this guy was running late, and didn't give a rats arse for any user on the road. Most of this elderly incidents you read about only effect themselves and rarely cause fatalaties to others. A long way off 70 but got confused the other night in strange location ended up going round corner wrong side as thought it was one system. Lucky late at night no traffic around and doubt if in busy time would of made that mistake due to seeing other traffic movemnts.

Ban all those under 60 from driving I say, it would be a much safer place

the stats don't lie - per mile driven, the over 65s are the most dangerous age group of driver. Because the young drive so much more in terms of miles, and because there are so many more of them driving, the actual number of accidents they cause is greater.
