![]() Elderly drivers may be hit with new driving licence restrictions & rules
![]() Sorry this article is behind a paywall & I cant find another source other than this Daily Express one. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style...e-restrictions So that's why Copart are extending all their sites for a mass car extinction ![]()

![]() Isn't that "ageist"....
![]() ![]() ![]() Just because "some" elderly drivers are "unsafe" is it OK to tar ALL drivers of some "nominal" age with the same brush? Last edited by AndyN01; 20th November 2021 at 13:06.. |

Yeah Andy it's ridiculous, Now they are saying that they intend to end the premise of holding a driving licence and the freedom to drive as and when and where we wish by labelling over 60's as 'elderly drivers' who should have those freedoms curtailed as a 'cost to society'. ![]()

![]() Saying this metaphorically touching my veneered steering wheel - I've been driving for some 62 years and have never had an accident (And that includes Naples and Athens in the rush hour).

![]() Somehow, somewhere, I smell the faint odour of rodents. It's not someone trying to deflect other media-grabbing headlines of the wrong kind is it? Surely not.

Being able to drive in Naples or Athens (or Mumbai, Dehli...) without having an accident just shows how reckless a driver you must be and it could be argued need to be taken off the roads. ![]() |
