Should he still be driving at 97?

So the arrogant old bugger is driving his new Land Rover without a seat belt now

"dying of the light" innit.

Can't blame him really. We can't all go quietly. Or gentle.

Of course the reaction is different because he is royal - the whole institution is set up to be above us and is expected to be respected by us so they have to be judged by higher standards. And the only way he will show he is sorry ( if indeed he is) is by giving up his licence. Driving around again as he has shows not one ounce of respect, reflection or remorse and is there any doubt bring expressed as to the basic fact that he drove from a side road onto a main road?

I don't think he's losing his marbles. He's just being stubborn. "Rage, rage, against the fading of the light" kind of thing.

Ah yes the seat belt - well at least not wearing that doesn’t endanger babies. I bet it was the Chief Constable in all his finery who went along to ‘have a word’ or more likely, had a word with one of the staff to pass the word on.

Maw you know he hasn’t spoken to the people in the other car ? Or do you want him on tv apologising ? He doesn’t owe me an apology . The police are investigating,
Should everyone involved in an accident apologise to the country. I find much of the criticism on this thread is simply because he is a royal, this is unfair. If he caused the accident and is fined or loses his licence what more can be done .
The man who helped him free his legs said his concern was for the passengers in the car. That was arrogent ?

Apparently the police have 'had a word with PP and given him appropriate advice about NOT driving on a public road without a seatbelt.'

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall.

Do you think he's losing his marbles the plot?

God reads everything I believe. I actually don’t care about who prays for whom on Twitter as a general rule but when number 2 in the CofE only prays for one side in a road ‘accident’ then it’s an utter disgrace.

You’d better check - he might be following you ?

Does God read Twitter?

I agree the Archbishop praying on Twitter was ridiculous.

Never mind I expect an Archbishop will be around to pray for him soon on Twitter and no doubt they’ll all be at Church tomorrow. Bless

Has he got insurance? ?

Will they settle it "knock for knock"?

Humility him? Dream on. So if your dgc had luckily escaped serious injury because some one had driven carelessly, you would be utterly fine about them driving around your area the next day? You wouldn’t see it as arrogant, shameless, self centred and thoughtless? If that man and his wife had an ounce of decency he wouldn’t have gone near a steering wheel at least in public until this had been settled. Shame on them. As for attributing blame, the police will have all the facts they need now - they will know the speed at which the Kia was being driven and PPs car. They will have witness statements already and it will now be a question of how much trust we can put in to justice being done.

Humility Anniebach?
Well I suppose public admission of fault, expression of regret, concern for the other parties, some gesture in the short term - flowers, personal visit by a Royal, private apology, for starters.
It is interesting if you pay close attention to the wording of news bulletins, there is never any suggestion that the D of E was actually to blame, i e. causing the accident.
I know “accidents happen” but human failure played the major part in this.

I wonder how long it takes the police to sort out who is to blame in an accident. I mean, it will have to be sorted out for insurance purposes apart from anything else won't it? Or is everything different when a royal is involved?

Well I suppose " I'm so sorry I will stop driving " would be a start.

really sensible for 97 year old to be driving. Of course.

So how do you want him to show this humility you want to see ?

Humility as in ooh sorry i am in a position of power and I messed up.

merlot. ?

I think the passengers might, Annie - if PP is driving.

merlot I assumed he was driving on the estate to regain his confidence, this is why I said ‘get back on the horse’ does one need a hard hat driving a car ?
