to support the idea of re-testing pensioners driving

[dhdjdbrjrkbr]

Last week a guy in his 70s down my road accidentally demolished a bit more of his wall driving into it as he's going blind. God knows what he's done when out and about. I drive 2 hours a day, lots on country lanes where is nsl and often someone turns into an road in front of me and I have to do an emergency stop. Reactions and awareness do decrease with age. Especially as there is a UN versal bus pas it doesn't seem that mean to me.

GPs should be more assertive about telling their patients they can't drive anymore

I completely agree. DFiL was under the care of various Consultants - had Parkinsons - and was still driving at a stage where he was struggling with normal day to day activities. It was very scary.

YANBU. I live next to a physio unit with the majority of visitors being rather elderly. The driving i witness daily is truly scary - and thats just in a huge car park at the end of a very quiet cul de sac. I shudder to think what they are like in rush hour or school pick up/drop off. They struggle with steering, suddenly accelerate or stop for no reason and often mount the kerb with no warning for pedestrians who are clearly visible. I go the other route to work now!
