Maybe he clipped the curb in the 1st place as he was having a heart attack, ok so the guys dead and thats sad news for his family but lets not turn this into a speed kills rant eh....

lol i remember seeing an old couple try to go the wrong way up a moterway once they came off the round about past the correct exit and were only stopped from getting very far up the wrong lane by waiting traffic god knows how he didnt notice them?!?

lol the old bloke across the street who has an old escort whenever he goes out revves it to hell only 1 time amongst the revves was a bang then a lot more revves as he mounted the path barly missed a wall and drove off after backing into a parked car ,he came back 10mins l8r saying he didnt even know he had done it



RIP to the audi trashing dude

And that's really old isn't it

I don't see how you can say that when young people cause just as many if not more accidents than old people. Older men are good drivers tbh.

[kemosabe]

very true howard. Its just a number, I know many capable "old" drivers, with plenty of experience, taking more care than many younger drivers.

[[GSV]Trig]

Some old drivers might be good drivers but out of all the people caught speeding its older people not they younger ones....

[Skii]

Jesus

my dads older than that, and he's a damn good driver

[G4Z]

well yes I take your point not all old drivers are bad drivers and some younger drivers are really bad (I dont really fall into that catagory as im 22 and ive been driving for 4 and a half years).

My g/f granddad drove us to a bus stop once (didnt have a car at the time) and I have never seena worse example of driving EVER. we were coming up to a crossroads and about 50 yards away I noticed them going amber. he seemed not to notice and at 20 yards they were red, Just as I said "those are red you know" he ****ing put his foot down and drove straight through at about 45mph (speed limit was 30) now I drive fast sometimes but I am nowhere near as reckless as that.

having said that my dad is 51 now and in all honesty he is a good driver as he has been driving all of his life in his work (owns a garage and does recoverys) and I really cant see him being a bad driver in 10 years. but in all honesty you really should have to re sit ya test at 60 just to check you havent turned into a moron.

also how can you say older men are good drivers? didnt you read that story, 62 year old man flips a van at 70mph onto 3 brand new TT`s killing them and himself. how can you say older men are good drivers? thats a generalisation not supported by this example

[Howard]

I didn't mean better drivers than anyone, and of course there are always exceptions to every rule.

I just don't believe you should be saying 62 year olds (hardly elderly either) are terrible drivers.

And don't roll your eyes at me

[G4Z]

well, I dunno how old you are but imo 62 is old, some people fare better with age but I think that there should be a re-test at 60.

yup, has nothing to do with age imo. Though old people do SEEM to be totally inept drivers

There are plenty of young morons on the road as well. I know a young driver who thinks nothing of texting on her phone while driving and the road is not a consideration either phone calls are bad enough but textin ffs

And an old guy who used to think nothing of driving after 5 pints though to be fair drink drivinf did used to be a lot more socially accepatable- like smoking
