Very little surprises me these days, I bet it was automatic. We've had pensioners drive through their garage walls where they've gone to stop, pressed the wrong pedal and lurched forward. Instead of pressing the brake, they hit the accelerator even harder!!

Ouch!

This wasn't your bike was it Kris

Nope not me. I copied the link off of Visordown...

I think I would be pretty pissed off though if it was my bike

I notice a puncture on the Pug, but I don't see any skid marks to show massive braking. He went a long way along the pickup before hitting the bike...

I think that old man should have a re-test if they don't take his licence away.

Horrorfied.

Mandatory retest's for people over a certain age please.

the other day. i had a car in front of me that went to turn left and then stopped.

the old lady just started reversing straight away without checking behind her so i had to paddle the bike backwards quickly

the old dear then drove off turned left again and stopped in the same place and went to reverse again


this time i rode around her and carried on


people over a certain age should be re-tested and banned from the road if they fail

I saw a car filtering today, I thought it was going to uturn and head out of town another way, but no it rode in front of me into oncoming traffic on a road that I have to stop filtering on when somethings coming the other way, I was astounded by the guys balls/stupidity. :/

All these reality TV programmes... I want a "Britains oldest drivers" programme.

I want them to put them in some simple situations and show how dangerous they are.

Re-test every five years until the age of 60, then every 2 years until 70, then every year.

If you can afford to drive/ride, and it means that much to you, you can afford to pass a test.

Shade
Fed up of bad driving AND riding.

Pulled up to a pump at petrol station next to old duffer who had just finished filling up.
Put £10 in the bike, 'old bloke' started walking (sorry hobbling) to pay the same time as me. It took him ages to get petrol cap back on. I had paid and got back to the bike before he had reached the door of the garage......So god knows what his reactions would be if something happened when he was driving! It would take him 10 seconds to hit the brake pedal let alone push it down.

Ban Em All!!!

While I do agree with some of the points made in this post, you can't tarnish all pensioners with the same brush!
My Grandad drove for nearly 50 years and he was a HGV driver for most of that time and he was one of the best and safest drivers I knew before his death in 2000.

But I do agree that ALL drivers should have to sit some sort of retest at regular periods. Most drivers out there haven't got a clue what there doing or where there going!
It would cut down in accidents IMHO, if everyone were retested say every 10 years when your licence needs to be renewed etc.

If you think about it there are driver out there who never took a test there that old/ have been driving that long!
My dad passed his test in the 60's and he is a good driver but in the 60's there were less cars/bikes/traffic than there are now!

Oh and that Peugeot driver needs to be banned, silly old fools!

those who failed shoudn't be driving, and the five fold increase would be good for both the economy and the unemployment list.

It is also your ability to keep up with the law, and changes in driving.

I know there were some things introduced, and some things I had forgotten, from the time I took my car test to the time I sat my bike test.

Re-tests could include motorways (since they are not learners), and lane discipline, all sorts of things to make the roads safer.

And if most people fail... there is something wrong with their driving.

Shade
Decent driver and rider.

I've always been baffled as to why using a motorway is not included in the training or the test?

After I passed my test I went on the motorway to meet the northern lot on the way to bdb. By the time I got to the services 3 junctions down I was shitting myself.

Never got told anything about using a motorway or anything all I had to go on was the highway code.
