Don't prosecute older drivers who run red lights

[CXRAndy]

Everyone I mean everyone who has a driving license should be retested every 5 years. This should include a simulator hazard awareness reaction score, general driving skill and knowledge of current driving standards, signage.

The score you get should have a weighting on insurance premium. If you fail badly, lose license. Fail marginally, retake test in 30 days and if you fail 2nd time lose license.

All this extra revenue, to be used to raise driving safety standards, training.

Yes definetly, I look back and think how'd I manage to survive this long, a week of my 70'th.

Blimey, that's proper old.

Having their skills assessed is an easy way to get them off the road. You would struggle to do that just by them going through a red light.

No, proper old are mates of ours who are in their 90's

I guess the sooner that genuinely effective autonomous cars arrive, the safer we'll all be.

If you fail and are rejected then should you be able to cycle on the roads?

Yes. On a bike you don’t bring the same level of danger to others as you would by driving a car.

No you shouldn't and don't, but you're no means on your own. All you drivers share the road with every other user so don't drive like you own it.

What you illustrate is simply bad manners and a disregard for other road users. We share the road which means cooperation to make travel possible.
