PS re kittylester's comment. I didn't say the problems of travel were a reason to let dangerous drivers on the road. I asked a question as others recognised. But thinking about it I do wonder about the overall costs and benefits. Young drivers have far more accidents proportionate to their numbers in the population but no-one suggests they should be kept off the road or subject to regular 3 yearly assessment primarily, I suggest, because they contribute to the economy through work. A middle aged driver can have a stroke or heart attack without warning while at the wheel (I know someone that happened to: he survived but others did not) but we don't insist on regular tests for them. And of course any of us can be the victim of a rogue drink driver over which we have no control unless we all stayed indoors (where many other types of accidents occur). The consequential costs for older drivers prohibited from driving are pushed onto them rather than shared as a community cost (for better public transport, for example) which seems unfair if the beneficiaries are the rest of the population. Just exploring the point, not arguing one way or the other.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
