Royston Robbie, your comments on older drivers are so patently ludicrous as to merit no consideration. I suspect that they say more about your attitudes as a driver, than about those you so arrogantly deride.

I suspect that you belong to that dangerous breed of middle aged tailgaters (fortunately a minority), who believe that they have a God given right to proceed unhindered by other road users, regardless of conditions, common sense, or safety.

In the forty years that I have held a CLEAN driving license, I have had two accidents. In both cases I was rear ended by people who seem to share your contempt for anyone who obeys speed limits.

My eyes are good, I am physically fit, and I had my reflexes tested three years ago, the results showing above average (not above average for my age, just above average). I am almost 65.

I do not travel everywhere with a half mile tail of frustrated motorists, even when towing my caravan, and have never occupied an overtaking lane for one second more than was necessary for safety.

Pray tell me on what possible grounds you would demand that I be retested before being allowed to continue driving?

Don T.
