treetop - lfc1971 would deem your comments as ageist . It's a new word he's learnt , apparently .
I , however , concur Ta Reynard,the irony is that we know of one lad with this problem at the age of 48, doctors need to appraise DVLC when they see this problem but the patient can be persuasive during the early stages when more plausible.Just a momentary lapse,like driving across a crossing on red and blaming pedestrians for walking in front of them ! |

I am really fecking livid about this Prince Phillip stuff.
What he did by law requires points and a fine. And driving without a seat belt, points I believe. I wish someone would start up a petition and get 100,000 signatures and it be discussed in parliament. |

It's got f all to do with privilege,I am amazed that the concept of dementia hasn't been identified here,just shows how dangerous the problem can be to others as well.

Diagnosed is he?
|
|
By:
Nothing to do with power and privilege lol of course not , he could have killed people should be banned from driving , fined and given community service , maybe helping in some soup kitchens for a couple of months
|

By:
Prince Philip doesn’t have any power , privilege is not a crime
|

now I have been in a car accident , my fault , and it was a matter of exchanging insurance details and that was the end of it
|

By:
You're not 97 !

How do you know : )

By:
Phil....is that you ?
|

By:
Lol , when I get to that age I shall walk , if I’m lucky

Were you guilty of careless or dangerous driving? Did you roll your vehicle? Was high speed involved? Were there any personal injuries? |

By:
You are missing the point,in early stages dementia, ANYONE will react as if they are blameless (I know,I know) but the danger is getting the license away from them before they cause real damage. His position may make that awkward but the media should focus on that to pressure the palace staff to address that ,even if it is only to limit damage to their precious regime.

I think he would pass his driving test if he was asked to resit it
could be wrong |

I think he would pass his driving test if he was asked to resit it could be wrong i spent two years as a driving instructor ................ you are wrong !  |
|
By:
How do you know ?
|
|
By:
It would depend on the issues he was presented with during the drive,like reversing into a busy roadcoming out from a junction or driving across a red light,etc. From very personal experience I certainly wouldn't be volunteering to be the tester in the passenger seat !
|
|
By:
I would be fairly confident he would pass it
|
|
By:
And I'm fairly confident you're wrong ................. unless the examiner was told to pass him
 |
|
By:
It’s a matter of judgement , I would imagine he would pass the driving test
|
|
By:
I passed it
|
|
By:
2nd attempt.
I think prince Philip would pass 1st attempt |
|
By:
Now I’m pretty sure someone with even early stages of dementia would not pass a driving test

Sadly with the Rise of the A Disease Our roads will become more dangerous with these people Driving around , Removing a License will do nothing They wont even remember it is no more , the Sad fact is that the family have to make sure that
the Person involved is capable to Drive , even Then how can you stop someone if you are not there ?? Seen a docu where in america they had to actually keep the Elderley Grandfather in A cage if there was no one in , The house had been set on fire among other things, as the chap had tried to cook something then forgot it , The nursing Home they considered could not handle him ,as people live longer things will only get worse , at some point in the Future action will need to be taken as other than family there will not be enough people to look after Sufferers, some of whom can become very aggressive Even attacking family members who they no longer Recongnize  |

By:
He made a bad mistake , the other car we know was driving too fast
|
|
By:
There are many old people who shouldn’t drive
There are many who are very capable and competent and good drivers |
|
By:
You have hit the nail on the head case,worries me how many times it has to be said for this to be understood.

I seen Phil on a Docu last year , to say he did not appear to know wtf was going on at some stages of the Programme would not be a Lie , I think phil will soon be removed from public Outings , A hundred years ago this would already have happened .
Wasnt the Queen mothers Cousin banged up in a Hospital ?? For most of her life. |
|
By:
No , he is retired about a year ago
and I would imagine he will be too old and frail to drive , that’s inevitable |
|
By:
LFC there are people Who do not Know who they are never mind how to drive a Car , Phil will be shifted from Public View ..
Anyone over 80 should have a basic retest we have had People Head off for their holidays going the wrong way Down Motorways with Caravans in Tow , Its beyond belief you cannot tell me that people close to them are not aware there is a Problem ,Or as withe USA bloke have just taken off without telling anyone ? |
|
By:
But he does seem pretty remarkable , he survived that crash and was out the next day
|
|
By:
Not really ! .......The car was armoured and he was surrounded by airbags.
|
|
By:
Have you ever been in a car accident leopard ?
|
|
By:
At the age of 97 ?
|
|
By:
It’s pretty incredible really

|
By:
Your right WTF would be straight back in a car aged 97 after a Major Shunt ,its as if he has not even suffered from Shock ,
never mind 3 other people people including a baby could have been seriously injured ,Regardless of Fault , it does not Add up . |
|
By:
He probably thought :
"Bl**dy hell !..... they're not going to take my license ....I better get out there quick....to proove I'm compos mentis....what ?" |
