Old people and cars

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6167726.stm

Retests at a certain age would prevent shit like this surely? I think we've all seen old people driving who quite clearly shouldn't be.

if he's too ill to sit in a courtroom (quietly), surely he's too ill to be sat in the driving seat of a car!

Aye retests for the oldies, I've seen 'em drive into walls, and go the wrong way round roundabouts and all sorts.

He did this in 2003, and now they decide he's too old to go to jail? Makes me want to be sick when the article says the youngest that was killed was 7 months, and people were dragged under the car for 300m! He killed 10 people, and injured 63 others, and it was an accident? At 60mph?

Fuck me I couldn't do that if I fucking tried!

Doesn't sound like an accident at all. Especially considering how easy American cars are to drive as they are automatic and only have 2 pedals. A wide brake pedal, and a thin accelerator.

Nothing worse than seeing an old folk barely able to see over the steering wheel, driving some turbo beast of a car.
Get them all in pimped out three-wheelers, they can do that the fuck they like then.
