Re: lets not judge a book by its cover..
My daughter's f-i-l (92) had to have a new clutch fitted to his car which was only three years old, which he'd had from new. The final straw came when he went the wrong way round a roundabout and took out a woman's wing mirror. The family made him give up the keys, must to his disgust.Re: lets not judge a book by its cover..
In my very first office job I used to drive the firm's mini van delivering invoices and so on. Sometimes I would go on errands with my old boss driving. He used to boast he'd never taken a driving test and drove everywhere in first gearRe: lets not judge a book by its cover..
A woman I once new drove a bright blue flashy new sports car , she was 74 a beautiful vibrant lady who suited the car , she offered me a lift into town with the top down , she drove the whole way into town in 2nd and third gear . I realised the car was too powerful for her and afterwards always felt she shouldn't be driving it .Re: lets not judge a book by its cover..
Living in a very rural and aging area, one is always mindful of elderly car driversRe: lets not judge a book by its cover..
We have a neighbour who was 91 this year, not that anyone would believe it, she certainly doesn't look it, or act it. Her affectionate nick name is "speedy" and it's to be hoped that nobody is ever crossing the road when she drives down, she only has two speeds, fast and faster. What she is like on the main roads I don't know.
