Ban on over 70's ?

Which cnut is that ? Don't think it'll happen, there are too many grey voters these days for that. WE HAVE THE POWER
WHHHHEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!
And like you say most accidents are caused by "young tearaways" that's why their insurance premiums are so high. Ban young drivers, that's what I say.
Actually being serious I think there's a very good case for limiting the power of cars that young people can drive. I see too many idiots driving powerful cars at stupid speeds. I would suggest a 75 bhp limit on cars for under 30 year olds.

 

To be honest, some type of re-test could be a good thing for some older divers and around my patch those 18-25 feckers who just passed. I like many others who are approaching the twilight years could possible do with a 'sharpener' just to sort out any bad habits or as a refresher. Myself I'm an IAM Driver (25 years) and I've dozens of check drives either for my former employer and the UK military so I could drive for the role. Each time I did the check drives I got Pass + so I class my driving, and riding, as pretty damn good, but, I would accept a check drive and if required re-training if I was below standard. As for riding, my 'teacher' was my ex-bike plod mate who was the senior trainer/assessor for our local force, he didn't take any $#!t mate or not so I'm pretty well up on two wheels as well as four.

 

As NewT120 says, BRAKE is just a charity campaigning for road safety and justice for victims of road deaths - been around since 1995 and whilst they obviously do some good work (supporting victims families) it seems as if their main aim is to prevent road deaths at any cost. This results in some rather silly campaigns to achieve this but no one appears to take much notice of them.

 

Age related Insurance costs proves who are the accident prone culprits, what I cant understand is how the youngsters can afford the cost to insure these Audi A3, Ford Whatevertheyarecalledtoday (a lot easier calling them Escorts etc), we have a public football field opposite us and I'm amazed what they turn up in!
What worries me is have they declared the modifications, bloody great dustbin hanging off the back for a 'silencer' which it aint, looks like no springs they are so low, wide wheels, they keep Demon Tweeks in business!
The standard of driving leaves a LOT to be desired, o.k. I know I was young once, I did have wide wheels on my 100e and Mk1 Cortina, but nothing like the power these cars have!
Never got me the Escort Mexico or Lotus Cortina I wanted, probably the best car's I never had, because I was priced out of the insurance!
Bitter???? No, not me!
