GUEST,Denis More BS: Older Drivers are Killers (176* d) RE: BS: Older Drivers are Killers 30 Dec 05


Let's look at the real reason why there is so much slaughter on the roads. Speed, lack of experience,drink or drugs used. older unfit drivers, careless or wreckless attitude. And all of these occur simply because there is no deterrent when it comes to sentences at the courts. How many times do you read of a drunk driver or a Joyrider killing someone and getting off or max, a few months in prison. In my local newspaper a well known guy was up in court for being caught drunk driving, no insurance, a banned driver and leaving the scene of an accident. He got six months in prison suspended for two years. Another was caught driving without insurance, he was fined 40.00 ! Cheaper than paying for insurance I'd say. Courts need to send out a clear message and until they do it will be slaughter. Do agree with the point of older drivers being tested at 65 and then every two years.
