Default Re: Doctors and Very Old Drivers

Good on him.

My father in law was 88 , had a stroke, which triggers a Vic Roads licence cancellation...(betcha you didn't know that eh?)

He lived in the sheet hole called Geelong .

Well, this guy was fully switched on, he was chief architect of the Ministry of housing in Vic, he built all those wonderful Hoddle street towers you all know, he worked directly answerable to the Premier.

No fecking way he was gunna be told what he could and couldnt do....LOL

He took driving lessons, 20 of them, he did all the written tests.

He did the driving test twice....and passed


They gave him his licence back....at 89 years of age...!!!

I drove with him...he displayed better skills than most of the drivers around him.

In fact he KNEW what the roundabout rules were..and i thought I was up to date.



So...to simply dismiss people because of age is ignorant by my experience.

He died of a bowel obstruction 12 mths later....RIP
