Where i used to live, it was old folks central.
One day i was in a shop, and all i could hear was someone revving the tits out of a car. Looked outside and there was an old guy trying to pull out of a space.
There was smoke pouring out of his car, the whole village was covered in smoke, and litterally every single person was just looking at him wondering wtf he was doing!
God knows what the smoke was!
Another dozy old guy, got in his car, set his alarm off and proceeded to drive up and down the village doing laps with his alarm on, as if that would turn it off!

Actually, there is a woman that lives opposite me and her mum sometimes visits, one day I mentioned I hadn't seen her car and the woman replied with "oh, mummy doesn't like to drive much since her birthday, she's 103 now!"

There should be some sort of competency test regularly, not just at 65 or 70. Then maybe we could flush out some lunatics on the way.

Half of them would fail the test immediately if there was a computer involved in the theory side of it

i know someone who has diabetes and is pretty much losing his eyesight due to it. he has to go to a licence renewal place once every 3 years or so and says its the easiest thing to keep. basically a doctor bloke asks if you can still see and he says yes, job done.
the sick thing is this person admits his eyesight is shite, obviously not to the doctor though...
gets worse, he has a FAST motorbike
drives like the majority of old buggers in his car (slow) but hits big mph on the bike

YOU JUST MADE ME STOMP ON MY BRAKES AND WOKE MY DAUGHTER UP!!!" (wich at the time was still a baby and i was doing less than the 60mhp limit road we had just came off)
None of that makes any sense. You overtook on a 30 road, stopped dead infront of someone, potentially causing them to hit you, got out of your car to basically intimidate an elderly man, swearing like a trooper, all the while you have a baby in the car and doing less than 60( I'd hope so in a 30) and the old boy is the wanker?! Hmmm.
My grandad just had his license renewed by sending away a bit of paper and given a new mobility car and 100% should not be driving but he just will not be told.
