Retesting for elderly drivers
- 13 March 2012 22:39159170Over the last 4 years my annual driving has been less than a thousand a year, the last 6 months it has gone up quite considerably, mainly to and from the back end of Kersney and around Dover, always around 09-00 and 15-00hrs every week day.
Always the same thing, the worst drivers are in the River area for me.
lack of indication, No attention and they always have a hat on irrespective of age apart from the blue rinse ladies.
sorry if you apply.

I'm not saying the area is full of bad or elderly drivers, just something I had noted.
