Old drivers create chaos on the roads

Old people still think the wars on ,drive at 8mph and save your couponed petrol,there are a real liability,people get so frustrated behind them they take silly chances,to overtake,can t they come out between the hours of 9pm & 6am (probably not because I need to read peoples friend & have a cocoa

Im a mimber of the gays agenst bad driving core. I spend my life talking to little cute children about how dangerous the roads realy are. I have a small luring disability becuse of a bad driver thet hit me wen I was young. you ceep up the good work

Drunks I can agree with aswel as joy riders. Both have no regard for life or property.

Boy racers yes. GIRL racers, yes.

I don't label one sex or age or race. I just maintain the premis that NO ONE can drive properly.

Treat everyone like an idiot with no driving skill or sense. As I expect to be treated by other drivers too.

It is not fair to label one group of people as morons that can't drive. I own a Golf VR6 Turbo with 430bhp but I only use that power extensively when I go to track days or to 1/4 mile drag strips like Santa Pod. It is also used to overtake people safely, not by flooring it either.

That doesn't make me a boy racer or rich boy racer.

Nobody is perfect and no one can drive to this "properly" standard.

This is a simple case of people that favour their own driving skills, witness someone else fail at trying to drive "properly" and then think they are better.

Congo, leave me alone you sad case - seriously.

get it right,
Yes we should get rid of joy riders, drunks, boy racers but its catching them in the act is it not?? however all old drivers are on record at the DVLA. Instead of trying to fine everyone for everything they should submit their names so they can be bundled into the night bus and thrown into the big wood chipper.

I cant be the only one thinking this.

You talk about Pensioner’s drive the wrong way down a motorway or drive into the back of a parked car on a petrol forecourt; they could just as easily plough over a child, someone’s daughter or son?
But that’s just what young idiotic boy racers are doing.
And your drunk drivers, joy riders, they kill more innocent people than any pensioner’s do.

Hello Mark, I wish to make an offer of a free drive in my car (if you have got the bottle) just to prove to you all the older drivers shouldn't be penalised buy a few, there should be some sort of simulater test that drivers must take at 70 each year I feel would be a good idea, I must agree
some get me hot under the collar at times and look as if they are on another "Planet" (bless e'm)
and they are a pain in the butt By the way if you accept my offer, I must warn you I'm 73 and have
an oxygen cyliner for company 16hrs a day, but I don't hang about and observe the "Highway Code" to the best of my ability and held a licence since I was sixteen. CHEERS.

Why restrict the 5 year re-test to just the over 60's.

All drivers should face a 5 year re-test, then we might just improve the overall standard of driving on the roads.

"Stalking"?

You flatter yourself.

I am sorry if this disappoints you but I am not that way inclined and as for confidences and relying on your judgement, well I must decline, thank you all the same.

However I agree with you about returning to the subject, if not the object.

Congo my friend,

Shouldn’t really call you ‘my friend’ should I? don’t want you stalking me even more.
You appear to have a thing about me and my temper don’t you?
Do you like it rough or something, you can confide in your uncle Karlos I won’t judge you as quickly as you appear to judge everyone else.

If you ever have the honour of meeting karlosthejackel you’ll be impressed by my chilled out nature and cool boy demeanour.
So please lets get back to the issue of why were here – to rid the roads of all old people.

They stink of p1ss as well.

Sensible Jon

I agree!

(GRRRRR)

I believe the modern phrase for karlos' symptoms is 'severe anger management issues'. Or, to put it simply, "ill-tempered".

Slow(er) drivers, horses, criticism of his grammar. There seems no end to the subjects which infuriate this person.

You're going off at a tangent here, Mr. Hicks. The point I am trying to make is that a person's general respect for other people is reflected in the way they drive on the roads.

I watched the programme"death of respect" on bbci player recommeded below.
It is pure Daily Mail inspired drivel.The writer/presenter John Ware is a grey-Haired,Upper-Middle class snob and ponce.On several occasions he poses the question"how did we get to this stage"?He states in Typical cosy Daily Mail Linguistic Terms"Britain has become a coarser place" He also says "In the fifties,Everybody Knew there place".
Throughout the programme he has three main commentators.One is a Bishop,One is a Top newspaper Editor And one an Economist And Author.All three are extraordinarily Posh.I suspect they all share the same College background as John Ware and would guess at Balliol,oxford.This programme is nothing but snobbery aimed completely and entirely at the working Class.No working-Class voice is heard but instead negative Images of ordinary working class people are constantly paraded throughout.Sheer snobbery to cater for the "grumpyold" daily mail mindset.
