Prince Philip involved in car crash

No one should be driving at 97, retests should be mandatory after 80.

Not for someone like Prince Philip of course, and 97 is really pushing it. But I have to say I've changed my mind over the years about the elderly driving. For so many of them it's the only way they can remain independent, and if they drive a bit slowly, so be it. As long as they're safe, I can put up with a little bit of a delay.

Mandatory re-tests would be ideal, but hugely expensive and an administrative nightmare. Most people I think keep an eye on their elderly relatives to see if they're ok. My father's driving certainly isn't what it was, but he's still ok. I'm rather dreading the time when I would have to tell him it's time to stop, but I suspect that he'll know before anyone else. He doesn't drive much these days.
