I'm only 18 months off 70. I guess I could do with a refresher because I really shouldn't tailgate slow drivers and call them silly old bastards  ;D

.......This 'going through a red light' used as an example, I see people chancing their arm most days, and they're not elderly. . ...
Just seen a Sprinter van go through read lights today, they'd been red for a good few seconds too. It was a set of lights om the A5 where there were 3 lanes .... 1 & 2 were for going straight on, lane 3 was to turn right only .... he was in lane 3!

There is a cafe adjacent to a zebra crossing on the main road here. People park on the zig zags to pop in. When I was younger that was a hanging offence. I saw a works van parked on them yesterday and two coppers in a corsa just drove past, never batted an eyelid. ....
I regularly see similar outside a take-away on my way home ..... coppers don't take any notice.

I think that TD is spot on. They will stand a better chance of getting older, dangerous drivers off the road. I'd better watch myself then. :D

You break the law you face the consequences, end of.
Yeah, I'm poor after all the box junction fines I've had to pay this year.

Still, it pays for all the statues to be pulled down.

Where I live there is an invisible ray gun just outside town that renders everyone beyond that point colour blind to red.
I'm serious (well almost  ::) )

I certainly recognise that type of steering wheel, with column gear shift with front bench seats, once so common 8) 8) ;)
