Callum Gilhooley Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 This happened yesterday on the M40. It seems the driver covered over 5 miles before crashing into some poor unfortunate who couldn't get out of the way. The two pulling the caravan also died. Police report both were in their 80s [emoji17] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, why drive over 6 miles? Try you absolute f**kmost to get into the hard shoulder at the earliest opportunity or, as was seen in the video, stop in a gap in the central reservation.

Maybe they had a death wish and sadly took someone with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You on the other hand suggested we need a check at a certain age after asking what age the driver was. So yes, you did say age was the issue.

Indeed, I am suggesting that checks should be mandatory at certain ages. Are you denying that degenerative issues can could cause accidents and death on our roads?

No, you said I said something where I clearly didn't. You then deflect when you realise you've made a cnut of it and we are where we are...................sound familiar?
