@kinderje Yep. Completely agree. People should have to do a retest every 10 years at most. People should also have to go online or take a test in person if they can't do it online every year to keep them up to date on the latest highway code changes. How often do cars let you cross at a junction as a pedestrian? Most people don't know about any changes in the highway code.

@mctrials23 Rendell said it in the other thread - why don't we get re-tested? I have had a license for over 40 years purely due to the fact that I passed the test when I was 20. It makes no sense.

I am sending this post from hospital. I forgot what "Danger! Tiger Enclosure! No Unauthorised Entry!", meant. Incidentally, ignorance of the law (which includes forgetting it) is not usually an acceptable defence?

Never really thought about it to be honest.

...and, of course, there was no way of recording any kind of information before the internet was invented. 😏

Not even a passing comment for John Tomac?

@Jakrayan God knows. On the country roads here (Kent) people are usually good at not close passing me but the consistently overtake me on blind corners etc. Oncoming cars on very narrow roads its 50:50 as to whether they will slow down at all despite passing me within 50cm. Once I get back into civilisation its a different story. Bad driving becomes the norm.

You could bé right. I live in a French Pyrenean départment with plenty of narrow, tight roads. About 80% of drivers either pull over to thé max or wait for a better space to overtake. Mind you, there's always thé odd one looking at their phone...

For a while I've thought this was an unfortunate brand name. Several times I've seen cyclists riding towards me wearing Le Col jerseys with their right arm covering the L so it looks like they are advertising e.Coli.

A driver in a BMW not looking properly at a junction? Who'd have thunk it?
