Default senile old duffers

any one see the story recently in the the press regarding the silly old duffer who drove down the slip and into poole harbour claimed she became "confused and didnt reaslise she wasnt on the main road"!! god help us,its time your licence was automatically revoked at sixty five and only reintroduced subject to a strict medical being passed and repeated annually until age seventy five, when your on the bus permantly, how many times do you read of some senile fruitcake causing havoc by deciding it would be a good idea to drive the wrong way around the m25, i had a close call recently when a half blind disabled eighty five year old elected to join the northbound m6 at knutsford down the exit sliproad luckily he only killed himself but it could easily have been far worse, im not ageist but i really do feel traffic conditions today aint no place for the average pensioner.
