Actually I would suggest that most deaths are from 25 to 60 these days.

Can quote states but I’m in position to make a guess

I know there is no minimum speed limit but I’m sure most people get frustrated driving at 60kph on a 100kph road… I know I do!! If you want to drive at half the speed limit you should at least have the cop on to pull in when there’s a tail back behind you!!

I see where your coming from. Nothing to suggest her age mattered. BUT ….. After 65 to remove any suspicion on lack of faculties people should have a test every two years. There are some who drive and are elderly the can be dangerous however I know one lady who is 93 and sharp as a tack

Nothing to suggest this woman was incapable of driving and either way it is sad, my sympathies to all who know her.

But age and driving is a thorny issue. My father is 85 and still driving. He is is good shape for his age and he has a doctors certificate and an eye test from late last year saying he is grand and got a new 3 year licence. But it still terrifies me. He regularly prangs the car off posts/walls/bollards etc – faithfully gets them fixed, I think in the hope they nobody will notice – he should get a regular custom discount at the body repair place. Every time I hear there has been an accident close to where he lives my heart is in my mouth.

He is very stubborn, nothing we can say will persuade him to give up his car. I am not just terrified for him but because he is a real danger to other road users. I spoke to the guards in the area, but there is nothing they can do if he is all certified and doesn’t do anything illegal on the roads.

R.I.P. age should have nothing to do with it.! As long as a person has passed their medical..I don’t know why they don’t have a truck- lorry lane only
It works everywhere else..

There is no need for ageism

The problem is elderly drivers tend to drive at a snails pace which causes traffic to backlog behind them… People then get impatient and carry out wreck less overtaking manoeuvres out of pure frustration…. Which in turn causes road crashes…. I’ve seen it so many times….
