Sensible decision imo.

That was very reasonable of the police, but still - atleast they did something!

Re: Don't slow down too much or you will be banned
 

Thats thouroughly appropriate in my opinion. Driving like that is seriously dangerous, i'm just shocked that the police did something about it!!

The son's defence was laughable, that's innexcusable. If his eyes have deteriated to over 5x less than what the law requires, what are his reactions like, his hazard perception, his awareness of other road users? What happens when a bikes coming towards him at a junction and he thinks it's a streetlight or a cyclist. I cringe thinking how many more like this there are.

if/when i get to that age i'll find it hard to accept that my body is failing me to an extent i cant drive safely, im a proud man and i suspect the ex RAF serviceman may feel the same...

that said, he's a liability to himself other road users his passengers so he's gotta have his license revoked. simple. good work by the Fuzz

A fair decision IMO. Theres nothing more dangerous than a 'driving Miss Daisy'.

Thats what I what I mutter under my breath when i get behind some person who drives so slow, they clearly shouldn't be on the road......and I thought I rode slow!

Seems like a good decision. Could cause an accident if he continued to drive like that.

Would also like to see them prosecute the idiots that try and join the motorway at 30-40mph or slow down before they exit onto an empty slip road causing chaos on the main carriageway.

Oh, yes. Two of my pet hates.

Re: Don't slow down too much or you will be banned
 

Also why do they feel the need to use the right hand lane on the slip road when they are not overtaking anything, thus preventing anyone else joining the motorway at a safe speed? :smt013

Unless of course you illegally undertake them. :rolleyes:

middle lane hoggers...grrrrr

I've started getting rather annoyed with lorries that pull out in front of you too, only to see them gassing on their mobile.
The amount of people I've seen on the M62 lately that have been chatting away and nearly causing a rear ender, or swerve to the fast lane(luckily thats empty) is unbelievable. No wonder the particular bit I ride on is notorious for accidents!
