Retired trucker Johan Prettenthaler, aged 70, has been charged with causing the death of the five Britons in an incident near Hallen, Austria, in which police believe his overtaking minibus forced a tour coach off the road on a blind bend.
Is it not now time to require all drivers over 60 be tested yearly for eyesight, roadcraft and reaction speed? We have all seen examples of elderly drivers either blind to danger leaping headlong into hazards, or frozen with hesitation at the wheel. Is it not time that these people, with reaction times of about a fortnight, be removed from the roads for all our sakes?
