    My Grandad ditched his license at 84 and sold his one year old car. He noticed he wasn't paying as much attention as he should and he was driving 20 km/h under every speed limit he saw.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Well it's a different take from where it was her fault for speeding just by being a passanger in the car. Now she does not even have to be in the vehicle.

    they better grind up the old codgers license. I always check pedestrian crossing a good half dozen times, specially in the cage, theres no excuse for not stopping for someone.

    What I find amazing is that the Police are only "considering" whether to charge him. He hit a kid in a pram on a pedestrian crossing FFS! And he even admits he was at fault. How can he not be charged. I wonder if they would be still "considering" laying charges if it had been a 17 year-old or a rich business man or a motorcyclist on a litre sports bike.

    Don't worry BB, at 62 you are on the fringe of not knowing "who you are", let alone being able to identify a pedestrian crossing or Mr Deuce!

    I'm OK so far but what's a 4X4?

    Happy fathers day to all those who qualify.

    I am off for a loop ride around through Waimate Timaru Temuka Geraldine and back via the MacKenzie, Fairly Tekapo Twizel Omarama and home again!

    What more could one ask for, cracker looking day and all!

    Did the same last fathers day and had a chat with ...wished me happy fathers day, as is their want!

    I will try not to think of Logan and his run today and promise to behave at pedestrian crossings, chow all, have a good day!

    Yes, he may well have a high sense of moral and social responsibility and be utterly distraught etc, however IF he is incompetent (and not saying he is) and kills someone then that really counts for little does it? So why not confirm his competency now and then, particularly at a time in life when this is prone to reducing.

    As for the irresponsibility of motorcyclists, by and large, they only hurt themselves (yes I know there are exceptions) that is a big difference.

    The ol' bugger didn't do anything that a younger driver hasn't done, so I'm not sure that age has got a lot to do with it. I'm dumbfounded the stupid woman pushed a kid in front of a car that she obviously wasn't even watching.

    After spending many years in Oz where cars stopping for pedestrians is NOT the norm, I can't believe how many people just rock up to a pedestrian crossing in NZ and step in front of cars without looking. Darwin will sort 'em out I guess.
