GUEST,Bruce Martin BS: Older Drivers are Killers (176* d) RE: BS: Older Drivers are Killers 29 Dec 05


The officer from Traffic Branch who dealt with me at the time of the death said that it was the third fatal accident he had dealt with in six months involving drivers over seventy. I have no reason to disbelieve him. Yes younger drivers are a serious threat on our roads and glad to see the police target this group daily. When you see a boy racer you tend to know what to expect. Insurance companies make it difficult for them, police media campaigns focus on them and the point system nails them, but there is nothing to deal with the older drivers.Since the accident I tend to be more aware of older drivers and their lack of use of indicators and junction positioning.Gnu, I am 38 a father of two young children who ask why they don't have a mother. I hold an advanced licence in both car and motorcycle. I would be willing to be tested as often as I would be required.As to the criteria I would you use for driving suspension, reaction times and control I feel would be important. Hope you never live my postion in life. Many thanks to the rest of you for understanding and kindness.
