Over 70?

Sign up in my local doctor's surgery...

'Driver refresher assessment for the over 70's. £10'

D'ya think the assessor is ready?

It might be worth spending a tenner for the look on his face... :)

All over 70's should be assessed for their driving/riding competence. I'll be booking myself in if and/or when I reach the magic three score years and ten mark. Common sense isn't it?  ;)  Go on Brian, do the dutiful and sign up, you might learn something  :)

Do I really want to spend a tenner to be told I drive wayyyy too fast, brake wayyyy too late, corner on me doorhandles, rev the nuts off me 2 litre turbo and leave darkies everywhere?

If you go in saying you drive way too fast, then he says "hey man, you weren't as fast as I thought you'd be," then you'll have learned you can go faster!

I wonder if Sir Jackie Stewart pays his £10? 8)
Correct rear brake use is scientifically proven to shorten stopping distances in EVERY road situation.
