very sad time

i do have an s40 but at work today i saw an elderly couple in there 70s try and reverse a brand new v or xc 70 t6 awd out of a small space and scrape from the rear passenger side to the front down my mates rear bumper into a small brick wall, very sad times guess he didnt have parking sensors

Yeah, old folks are very stubborn when comes to their driving. Our neighbour, well in his seventies needed three accidents in short succesion to for the message to hit home. He also knocked his front garden wall down three times when reversing to turn around in our narrow street, and his brand new (then) civic had scrapes and dents all around, sad thing to see. Once I had to drive behind him (his rear bumper hanging off dragged behind the car) for a bit to get out our estate, he drove at around 15mph all the way, and took eons to get out of side road and turn right. After that when I saw him coming out I would give the old gimmer a head start to save myself grief of following him.

I recon after 70 they should introduce medicals every 12 months with emphasis on eye sight and reaction speed. Some of those elderly drivers can't drive for sh*t anymore and cause danger to everyone else (end themselves)

yeah i no what you mean with that there are some awful drivers but then agin there are some real bad young ones to, and for the life of me i dont know why if he couldnt hardly walk properly why the hell has he got a car the size of a v70 and even more witha t6 engine (i would have had it lol)
