It's being reported that Phil has been in quite a nasty fender bender. I have no feelings one way or the other for the family, but as a human, I hope he's ok. But, he's 97 years old. I'm sure he's in the best paid-for health, but should a 97 y/o still be driving? Not just him, obviously, but anybody of that age without regular re-testing? |

D'oh, just realised there's a similar thread running. |

"Definitely should not be driving. Anyone over 70 should be tested yearly. "
They are tested every few years.
There's plenty of incompetent drivers of all ages, and people driving with poor vision long before 70.
Simply giving a number as the critical cut off isn't a solution in my opinion. |

They are never re-tested. They just have to fill out a form saying there are no health issues that prevent them driving. |

I'm not sure how I feel if I'm honest, but I saw the funniest clip on Facebook the other day about it.
"97 you say? No no no no.. I was doing 51. I'm very much looking to get to 100.. one day.. mmmh yes hahahahaaa"
Best thing I've ever seen. |
