Why does that annoy you?

If their hands are sweaty they might lose grip of their racquet and fuck up a shot.

They never dry their hands always wipe brow which I thought was the point of a sweatband?

Wrist or head sweatbands?

I just don't get why very old people are allowed a driving licence.

a) My grandfather is 92 years of age and holds a full UK driving licence. Last week he had a doctor's appointment and decided to drive himself to the surgery. Once there he attempted to apply the brake by pressing down very hard on the accelerator. This propelled him through the front doors and past reception. He came to rest in the waiting area just in time for his appointment.

b) Today I saw a very old man reverse out of a bay in the supermarket carpark. Well I heard him first as the revs were ridic loud. He reversed into a parked car in the bay behind, pulled forward hitting a car in front, and then reversed back hitting the same car he had only just hit. I looked thru the window to see he was completely oblivious to the carnage he was causing. Then he just happily drove off without a care in the world.

Motorists driving into buildings and multiple parked cars seems safe DVLA. Yet you want me to take an awareness course for travelling at 34mph. Grease.

Did he get taken because I think you're meant to be there 10 minutes before the allotted time these days?

Was parked at Doncaster Hospital the other week and some old biddy who was parked behind me pulled out and drove off. In doing so she clipped the rear bumper of my car leaving a big scuff about 8 inches long on it. I felt the bump when she hit me, I doubt she had a clue she had even done it.

Pretty sure if me and Mantis agree so strongly on something the law should insta be changed as it's never happened before.

Clare im only in my 50's ffs how would i know

[hector62]

You only have to take a test if your GP decides you are unfit to drive. My Father was still driving at 80 and it was terrifying. He only stopped driving after he hit a parked car that he didn't even see.

Yeah GP has to sign you off every few years that you are fit to drive after a certain age, probably 70 as mentioned.

[RED-DOG]

Ahh! I thought that most of the carnage you see on today's roads was caused by drug / alcohol / testosterone fuelled boy-racers. I didn't realise that all those unrecognisable lumps of twisted metal with the blood-spatter motif that I used to see in salvage yards every day were written off as a result of being driven at 25mph by some 90 year old. 

[millidonk]

I spend close to 3hrs every single day on the roads and by far the people I see causing the most issues are old people. Some of them literally haven't got a clue, being slow doesn't bother me but indicating the wrong way/randomly stopping in the middle of the road to look/reversing out of their drive without looking, does! These are just a few of the things that I have seen the older generation do this week. They have a free bus pass, use it ffs.

That said my own spacial awareness isn't the best, I have had a scrape or two in my time.
