Leave it there Lee, rather than responding and proving how thick and stupid you are.

Surely its time the Government stepped in and put an end to over 60s driving, this type of thing happens to frequently for my likings. Last month some old fart drove down the motorway the wrong way!!! PS why is there a car insurance ad just under the article!!!
