What I am saying is that many old people should not be on the road. The amount I times I've seen drivers and I thought they were pissed but they were not. They were old.
Medicals are required f or hgv's and it should be for cars as well. And assessments. The elderly are dangerous on the road.
And likewise for people 17+
I'd say there are far more people in the 17-30 bracket...or indeed any sub 65 bracket you could ever think of that shouldnt be allowed on the road regardless of their medical or physical condition.
So what does a medical prove ? Sweet FA
And as for an HGV medical...it really cant be too difficult given the state a of of HGV drivers are in.
And if totally dangerous and incompetent drivers can acquire a license via a test, really, what difference will any medical make ! They could be the healthiest and fittest person in the world and still be a total fucktard behind a wheel.
