I read this at the weekend. I found it hard to believe then, and still do, that a 93-year-old in a Toyota was on the correct side of the road. I know that sounds ageist, but I guess that's the cynic in me...

I thought that as well but then clicked she was a front seat passenger so the driver I thought may well be a tad younger than 93.

So because a motorcycle is involved it's not possible for it to be rider error?

No,　because we are pretty much perfect in everyway.

The way I read your comment was because of the drivers age he wouldn't be on the correct side of the road and was at fault,this implied the motorcyclist was not at fault
