Re: Should elderly drivers be forced to re-sit their driving test?
I totally agree with Raptor 9.Basic eye test and reaction test simple and straightforward.Theres enough elderly people on their own without adding thousands more with rural bus services being run for profit only.I do not fancy the idea of driving down a back road to find a elderly couple walking on ...

Sighted today
While at work near to Kendrew barracks I noticed a low flypast of a AH64 and within 10-15mins of that 2xF15 eagles dogfighting high up and finally a A400 over the top.No serials but nice to see the area still sees military use.

Hi Peter.
