It has to be a sensitive issue when an elderly driver insists they have been driving for 60 years without an accident.Unfortunately it has to be said it is often more luck than judgement.More experienced drivers tend to steer clear of them when they are wandering about aimlessly.I suppose the law of averages means that before long, such road users who have never had to take a test,will have passed on, so theoretically, everyone should be competent :?
I often watch the youngsters driving about,tyres squeeling,music deafening all in the street outside , and I wonder why the driving examiners are unable to see through these young morons when they issue them with pass certificates.Ability alone is not enough.
We hear so much about improvements to "dangerous" roads. It is NEVER the road which is the problem,only the drivers who use them.
How does the system work in Ontario? Are there less fatalities?
It seems to me that the IoM government simply wants to be seen to be taking action without making a really honest study of safety.They should not be influenced by the UK or the media.
