"What’s Betty White done this time?"
Jokes obvs I ken it was that Prince Philip. If they’re able too, then no, it isn’t too old I guess. I dunno. I’m 21 and can’t drive so I’m useless
Glad he’s okay though |

I would say that yes it is .
Even a healthy 97 year old isn’t going to have reflexes , and a sharp enough mind to hand/ foot coordination , to drive safely .
I would make it mandatory to retest every year after 80 , and simply not allow anyone over 90 to drive as it’s too dangerous for others with them in the road . |

As with all of these things, it depends on the person.
My Dad's 81, just purchased an electric car and as fit as anything.
However, there are some people a heck of a lot younger who shouldn't be on the roads because they are dangerous.
The road that Prince Phillip had the accident on is not nice, there are always accidents on it - they just aren't national news! |

"Just a thought, but perhaps it was the other car that hit his and he was not too blame!
The other car was on the road and HRH pulled out of a driveway."
That's not true, they were both on a road and neither on a drive way (look at the press photos) no one has been blamed yet, or nor has it been said who hit who, so you can't just say its his fault lol |

The newspaper reports I've read says he was turning onto the A149 from a private road from the estate (a driveway to you and me). |

"As long as he faces the same age-related driving checks as every other 97 year old then yes. If his position means that he’s exempt from such checks then no."
Age related driving checks? What are those, other than the form you self certify yourself as fit? |
