As if the story about a 90-year old man killing another motorist by driving the wrong way on the A30 in the UK wasn’t enough, there’s a story from Australia about a similar incident (albeit, without anyone dying this time).
Ronald Jackson, whose age isn’t given, had recently passed a refresher course. But he’d also recently suffered a stroke – and although it isn’t clear if this was connected with the course, it WAS cited as a reason he may have become “confused”.
Jackson drove for more than 7 miles, weaving through oncoming traffic whilst towing a caravan!
His defence lawyer said his only other offence was a speeding ticket 30 years ago. Well, that makes it all right, then.
Jackson was banned. The poorly written article doesn’t go into any more detail.
