Any chance of a threesome?

A 97 year old racist barely fit to walk but still driving. Causes a car accident and in the other car there are two women and a baby. The headline news is basically: don't worry Phillip is fine.

My thoughts exactly. What's the chances of a charge of careless driving or the big dacter taking his licence away?

He reportedly told police he was dazzled by the sun. Didn't stop him driving out in front of the other vehicle. Apparently Norfolk County will change the speed limit virtually over night. I wonder will they erect signs warning other road users about shape-shifting lizards?

Gutted for Princess Di (Gawd bless 'er sweet memory). So close

I agree entirely that he almost certainly shouldn't be driving - it's not like he won't have a royal protection copper with him most times.

However, we don't know the details of the accident, so don't see how we can really comment. I suspect at least some of the comments so far are only hearsay. Sound familiar?

Secondly, I believe in most circumstances like these where there hasn't been death or serious injury, even if the 97yo is deemed to be at fault by the cops, the common practice is to ask them to voluntarily give up their driving licence and that is usually the end of the matter if they do so. If they don't,the cops will charge,and if found guilty, the court will take away the licence and any other punishment which is due.

Thirdly, from what has been released by the council already, it's not a knee-jerk reaction to yesterday's accident, but has been in the offing for a while anyway. No doubt yesterday's incident will speed things up though (in slowing things down).

Whatever the cause, the other car must have been travelling a bit to turn over a Range Rover, but that doesn't mean they were above 60mph ...or does it?

Hopefully there was a royal protection officer in the car who will provide unbiased witness testimoney ... and possibly be reprimanded for allowing the old duffer to drive in the first instance.

Regardless of all that (and I think you're being very generous with regards to certain aspects), the establishment press coverage of the incident has been appalling. Not a mention of the other car and it's occupants. The BB fecking C annoy me greatly.

It's not hearsay, I can show you pictures of the accident. In this case something actually happened.

Thanks for that at any rate Cap'n. Best laff I've had in a long time

Totally agree.

Don't know why you say that, I was trying very hard not to attribute blame to either party. Those who carry out the investigation and can gather all the facts can do that. Or do you already know all the facts?

Finally ... someone who can detect sarcasm on this forum!

I'm hoping too that I haven't lost my chances of a gong by calling HRH an old duffer.

Wrong thread, I know, but worth a giggle

I take it that Dave showed you that photo?

Clearly not hearsay. I'm convinced.

How do i sign up to Twitter to condemn this?

There hasn't been a fact posted on here in about 12 years.
