Five years ago my partner was killed in a road accident.A man of 83 crossed the central line and she was killed in a head on.The gentleman died five days later.Doctors said there was no signs of any illness as a cause of the accident. Five weeks ago a young lady who works in my office was killed when a 72 year old woman drove out of a side road without stopping onto a busy carriageway. A lady in another car was also killed.The young lady was 21.These are not isolated incidents. I have wrote to government, lobby groups and the local media. The government must bring in some type of a test in the U.K. for car drivers of this age. Would any of you get into a taxi or aircraft if the driver or pilot was in his 80's ?
