This article again highlights the dangers that elderly drivers can cause on our roads.
The mother in question is Jackie McCord, whose daughter Cassie was killed by an elderly driver who had already had an accident a few days earlier.
The story refers to Colin Horsfall – the driver in question – but also to the case of 87-year old Richard Bradley who only got points for driving into a woman suffering from MS. Helen Harrington, who was the woman knocked down, is also calling for re-testing.
Both refer to the e-petition calling for Cassie’s Law to be introduced (the petition is now closed) and I once again urge as many people as possible to sign this before it expires in November. It is vital that someone finally acknowledges that the elderly do not have a right to drive – it’s a privilege, just like it is for everyone else.
