I tend to think the older a driver gets the less able thy get.
In as much as reflexes get slower, eyes become worse and strength weakens.
If you add these together they end up for the most part being really slow and hesitant. Which makes other driver very frustrated at them. Accidents involving older and much older driver seem to tend to be because either other driver frustration or their own hesitation.
Does that mean they should lose their license? Yes if they can’t pass a yeast to show they are still competent.
I was out driving at exactly the same time as this accident occurred and was absolutely blinded by the sun for a couple of seconds at one point and had to slam my brakes on. It came suddenly through a gap in the trees by the side of the road. I had the visor down and put my hand up but I couldn't see a thing the sun was so strong. Frightening.
They are saying that the speed limit on the road is to be reduced.
All fine and dandy but how many accidents have there been on that stretch of road? Why now? Is it just because HRH has had a nasty prang or has the speed change been in the pipeline for a while?
