Re: Driving after 70.
Whilst at work parked in the works car park a regular visitor damaged my car, I knew it was him as he left red paint all down the drivers side as he scraped my car. I had not seen it happen but in the past watched him trying to park . I rang the local police and asked them to check out his driving as felt he was an accident waiting to happen. The police lady rang me the next day to say he was 92 years old , she made him read number plates 3 times and he got it right. They said they could not stop him driving though even though they were concerned at his slow reflexes. Lucky for me I was able to t cut the red paint and scratches out of my car, they ran from front to back.

Re: Driving after 70.
The day I took my driving test there were 3 guys at the test centre and I was the only one who passed first time!We all develop our own way of driving and for many it's not by following the highway code, that goes out of the window when they've passed their test.
It's said the younger generation are more likely to cause accidents than our generation because many are speed freaks and I'd agree with that

The Highway Code is not just for learners.
