Old Drivers in large vehicles ...

[FeistySquirrel]

Get them off the road!

No Mirrors, no indicators, absolutely no awareness of my presence!
Earlier on I was nearly taken out by a van driver on his mobile too... Grr





Ps: She looked liked a fat version of this lady:

To be honest you could see what they were going to do from a long way back, you had plenty of time. Or at least that is what it looks from here.

When you saw the brake lights why didn't you slow down

 

[FeistySquirrel]

Slow down more, or not; she shouldn't be driving so close / into the cycle lane.
In re to breaking: can you not see my hands pulling my breaks?? Pull them any harder and my wheel would look up more then what it did, which could of been far worse!

Edit; Err, the video says it has been removed by me.. Which it hasn't :/ .. Trying to get it back up.

I'm knocking on a bit. I got a large vehicle!

Video not working?

Same here, can not see the video.

64 and a VW Touran. How do I rate? May I continue to drive?

 

[Drago]

Hhhhmmm. Pretty old, but your vehicle is teensy.

Can't see the video, but the title alone is ageist! Especially when in my experience age has little bearing on ability to drive. I am a mere pup of 52, and from what I see ALL ages/genders/races are guilty of driving like morons.

I'm sure the young pip in a max'd Renfault Clit that tried to cut me up in my truck this morning was neither old nor in a big vehicle. I doubt he'll live to either be old or own a big vehicle if that's how he behaves.

My brother is 81 and still doing fast track days on his motorbike.

The OP has a view different to some of us who have seen it.

I suspect screenman nailed it.

I can't get the video back up.
What screenman was referring to was my apparent lack of breaking. You can only see my FRONT break in the video, and I'm not slapping that on full going down hill.
The driver in question was positioned to go straight ahead at the round about. Without indication or mirror check, she pulled left into the cycle Lane, and carried on driving in it turning left.

My rear wheel had already locked up more then what had wanted.

She was only aware of my after I banged her wi doe to stop her wiping me out! She could only just see over the steering wheel.

I'm In no denial that young drivers are bad, in fact they're probably worse. You've all also taken the title to heart I see. Hold on whilst I get my Hi vis on and my helmet.
