Prince Philip seen breaking the law today !

Quick insurance payout

He obviously does not listen to the Queen !

He listens to Judas Priest.

The iron duke out rallying ,

Duke of Hazzard....surely !

Norfolk Police say they have spoken to the Duke of Edinburgh after he was pictured driving without a seatbelt, 48 hours after being involved in a crash near Sandringham in Norfolk.
A spokeswoman said "suitable words of advice have been given to the driver".

Brother in Law fined 50 smackers for not wearing his seat belt last year...fair innit.

I like the Judas Priest reference

Murkier and Murkier !

A mother-of-two who broke her wrist after being involved in a car crash with Prince Philip has revealed how the Duke of Edinburgh has yet to apologise to her as he is pictured back behind the wheel.

Emma Fairweather, 46, was a passenger in the Kia involved in the collision and described how she 'couldn't stop screaming' when it happened near the Sandringham estate in Norfolk last Thursday. 

The upset Royals supporter, Ms Fairweather, said she was told she would hear from the Palace after the crash, but was only delivered a nonsensical message from police which said: 'The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh would like to be remembered to you.'

Meanwhile, Prince Philip was pictured driving a new Land Rover just 48 hours after the dramatic crash.

Images published on Saturday show him wearing dark glasses with no seatbelt in a new Freelander on the Queen's Sandringham estate.

Police have spoken to the Duke of Edinburgh after the photos emerged.

A Norfolk Constabulary spokeswoman said the force was aware of the photographs and that 'suitable words of advice have been given to the driver.

The Duke of Edinburgh reportedly said 'I'm such a fool' after being pulled from his wrecked Freelander on Thursday after it flipped on its side following a collision with a Kia close to Sandringham.

The Palace said contact has been made privately and 'well wishes' have been exchanged but the crash passenger said this was not true.

Ms Fairweather from Kings Lynn in Norfolk said that she is 'lucky to be alive' and initially had no idea it was the Prince in the other car. 

The Kia Ms Fairweather was travelling in was being driven by her 28-year-old friend  whose nine-month-old baby was also in the car. 

It was claimed the Duke of Edinburgh may have been 'dazzled' by the sun but Ms Fairweather said it was overcast and 'grey' on Thursday afternoon as she and her friend drove home from Hunstanton beach.

At the time of the crash her first concern, she added, was to scream for someone to get the child out of the back.

She told the Sunday Mirror: 'We could see the Land Rover about 150 yards away from us at the junction, then it started to move.

'The speed limit was 60mph but my friend was doing no more than 50mph. I kept thinking he (the Prince) was going to stop, but he didn't.

'It all went into slow motion as I watched the other car.

'As we approached I could make out that it was an elderly driver. My friend was braking and seemed so in control but I was terrified.

'It must have been seconds but it felt like half a lifetime. I had no idea at the time that it was Prince Philip - I was just thinking of the baby. I don't think I realised that my side of the car had taken most of the impact.'

Ms Fairweather said Prince Philip received most of the attention from drivers who stopped at the scene since his car was on its side and she feared she would be left until passerby Victoria Warne, 72, got her out and explained who the other driver was.

'The lady came over and said 'you do know who that is don't you' I thought it was just an elderly gentleman but she said 'It's Prince Philip'.'

Witnesses said Prince Philip was whisked away ten minutes later.

Ms Fairweather has not heard from the Queen or her husband, she said.

She added: 'I know the Queen is a busy lady but I was really excited at the idea that she might phone me.

'Instead I got a call from a police family liaison officer.

'The message he passed on didn't even make sense. He said 'The Queen and Prince Philip would like to be remembered to you'.



'I love the Royals but I've been ignored and rejected and I'm in a lot of pain.

'It would mean the world to me if Prince Philip said sorry but I have no idea if he's sorry at all.

'What would it have taken for him and the Queen to send me a card and a bunch of flowers?'

The crash came for the 46-year-old whose birthday is on Sunday after a string of unfortunate life changes including losing her job and her marriage.

She had texted her mother jokingly hours before the crash saying: 'It's almost been a week and nothing bad has happened.'

It was claimed the Duke of Edinburgh may have been 'dazzled' by the sun but Ms Fairweather said it was overcast and 'grey' on Thursday afternoon as she and her friend drove home from Hunstanton beach.

Another example of hereditary power and privilege and what you can get away with whilst the peasants are forced to live by another set or rules

And yet another example of this ridiculous dysfunctional family giving more embarrassment. Who in their right mind would let their 97 year old relative out on the public road? Police are going to have to treat this as they would any other incident. Enough media attention now on it. Story not going away either.

Prince Philip should not have to wear a seatbelt , security reasons

a lot of ageism here which is not acceptable in modern Britain

He doesn't even have a driving license !

They can't produce it !

a lot of ageism here which is not acceptable in modern Britain

Criticism of an individuals actions and behaviour , taking age as a factor relating to their ability to perform specific daily functions , is not ageism .
It's simply acknowledging the fact that reaction times , judgement and behaviour can often become impaired with age (and 97 is very old) .
It strikes me that lfc1971 has discovered a new word ending with ism and is determined to use it to deride the genuine concerns and opinions of others .

Thanks for that little bit of wisdom Reynard , I knew all that

It’s ageism nevertheless

police should be advising drivers to stay away from Sandringham

It is the duty of younger drivers to understand that there are older drivers on the road as well as themselves and keep their wits about them and drive carefully

lfc1971 - According to your definition of ageism is it totally wrong to accept that peoples judgement to perform simple daily functions is not impaired by age (scientific fact) or if it is then we cannot speak of it for fear of causing offence ?
This is the sort of PC nonsense I would expect from uninformed individuals .

just saying

Yeah of course,lets forget you nearly killed 3 people,as a reward given a brand new range rover paid by us suckers then take the p1ss just two days later,wot a gent

Imagine is Prince Philip was a woman

Leave him alone British people love him , he’s a gem

It is the duty of all drivers to drive in a manner which ensures the safety of all other road users .
Why should all competent , respectful drivers have to adjust their behaviour in order to account for imcompetent , disrespectful drivers ?

lfc1971 • January 20, 2019 12:08 PM GMT
just saying

Yes , but unfortunately what you are just saying is , as is often the case , absolute uninformed nonsense

Drivers should make way when the Duke wants to join the road!

A significant concern for me would be that this behaviour,forgetting his status,is probably one of the more significant signs of early stage dementia. Seen exactly this type of behaviour in my brother in law (85) and we had to get the police to remove his license,I bought the car to get it away from him. He still tried to pick up the keys and would have driven into a bus if he had the opportunity before being admitted into care.He knew no different and could not be reasoned with. Who has the cojones to tell a man in his position ?

The rule of the stool who ever he is these days might have a word

excellent stuff from lfc in here

treetop - lfc1971 would deem your comments as ageist . It's a new word he's learnt , apparently .
I , however , concur

lfc can be such a SJW sometimes

Next move will be a Cage

Can't believe this thread is still going.

...as long as we don't get Prince Philip singing in the courtroom we should be safe

Out on his own again in the middle of nowhere, Queeny must be hoping he gets kidnapped.

He has been a Liability of sorts for years ,Spear chuckers and Slanty eyes come to Mind ,But this appears to be a Different ball game ,He has lost the Plot A danger to himself and others ..

Spear chuckers and Slanty eyes

It's things like that that endeared him to the great British public.

The fuse box put in by the indian was my fav.

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?

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

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

You're not 97 !

How do you know : )

Phil....is that you ?

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

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

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

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 spent two years as a driving instructor ................ you are wrong !

How do you know ?

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 !

I would be fairly confident he would pass it

And I'm fairly confident you're wrong ................. unless the examiner was told to pass him

It’s a matter of judgement , I would imagine he would pass the driving test

I passed it

2nd attempt. 
I think prince Philip would pass 1st attempt

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

He made a bad mistake ,  the other car we know was driving too fast

There are many old people who shouldn’t drive
There are many who are very capable and competent and good drivers

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.

No , he is retired  about a year ago
and I would imagine he will be too old and frail to drive , that’s inevitable

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 ?

But he does seem pretty remarkable , he survived that crash and was out the next day

Not really ! .......The car was armoured and he was surrounded by airbags.

Have you ever been in a car accident leopard ?

At the age of 97 ?

It’s pretty incredible really

Typical lfc1971 , makes a statement that he is adamant is correct , then within an hour contradicts himself

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 .

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 ?"

He possibly isn't even aware that he's actually been involved in an accident

....yes....probably forgotten all about it !

This forum getting more and more like a sweetie wives convention.

Put him in the tower

'Driving without due care and attention carries a penalty of either a disqualification, or between 3 and 9 points. You can also be faced with a fine up to £2,500 depending on the nature of the incident. The worse the driving, the worse the penalty will be.'

Simple.  Charge him, convict him, and on the basis of a medical assessment take his licence off him.  Need to get the twot off the road before he kills someone.

ah Jack, what was the cause of your accident ?

The sun was in his eyes?

Just voluntarily gave up his driving license !

Haleluya !!!

Well done Mam !
