I agree some people should stop driving, but we do have tests here to ensure they are safe. The reality is when people live in places with poor public transport and the nearest hospital 25miles away giving up driving can mean giving up a lot of your freedom. If they are going to drive I’d like to see them do it in a modern car with all the collision avoidance and pedestrian safety technology rather than a 5m long two tonne lump of German steel.
