tazzieman Posted 8March, 2016 Report Share Posted 8March, 2016 Hope I can still drive my cars when I'm friggin 88 !!You might think you can drive them. That's half the problem. Same with 18 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled Junkie Posted 9March, 2016 Report Share Posted 9March, 2016 No matter how old you are there is a time and a place for everything and that wasn't it !! Still its good to see he's still gets the P thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deejay Posted 10March, 2016 Report Share Posted 10March, 2016 The Fuka was 88 .and likely can't pass the requirement. Irrespective of age glad he didn't hit my kidsYeah, he's 88, but if you met him you'd think he was in his 60's. He has to pass a medical every year to keep his licence and the requirement for people over 80 to have to sit a practical test every year was scrapped due to the evidence clearly showing that people of that age are no more of a risk of causing an accident than anyone younger. He's also an ex road rally champion, again no excuse but who wouldn't get into a car with Stirling Moss, Paddy Hopkirk or Jackie Stewart just because they're an OAP.Also, where he was caught was not a small suburban 50kmh road, but a very wide road that actually used to be an 80kmh zone, that was changed just like many other roads around this country seemingly just because they can.Again, I'm not saying what he did was right, he had a blast in an inappropriate place and got caught. Who here hasn't taken their car for a spirited drive and gone over the limit !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 10March, 2016 Report Share Posted 10March, 2016 you said the word 'inappropriate' ... everyone hand on heart (or in the coxster region) and all step backwards and the last dandy dangling will likely fess up also to early morning open road antics.... Hate to say it and as much as I like a Swedish au pair... (I still love benny hill) I do believe in self regulation more so n all... been an ex pro you could argue he should be more 'appropriate' than most. Ps my 2 penny rant is nothing about being ageist PPS if the dude didn't realise the speed signs had been changed from 110 to 80... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deejay Posted 11March, 2016 Report Share Posted 11March, 2016 Haha, yeah maybe inappropriate was the wrong choice of word, I'd been reading another thread before this one that has gone a bit south so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
