Driving!

Went for more driving retraining around the city of York! I drove around the whole of the city for two hours which was quite busy with tourists as Summer is fast approaching.

It is good to get back into driving, however I think the fact I had to wait eight years before being allowed to retrain, puts some of the people on ITV's programme on older drivers, having strokes etc. not now being allowed to drive into perspective.

After all it should be remembered that a lot of them never had to take a test, so maybe the time is right for making testing for older drivers compulsary! There is a relatively frequent public transport system for most people now!

After fifty years all our reaction times change as we grow older and wiser! However I thought the point the programme made about younger drivers being just as dangerous was equally valid, but at least they have to take a test of there driving skills before being allowed on the road! Sorry about the short rant but it is just something I believe in!
