I wholeheartedly agreed with the writer of a letter, entitled No Fools Like Them (Letters, May 23).
Hove is full of elderly folk who think they are wonderful, safe and caring drivers. How wrong these people are.
Young drivers can be retrained. Old drivers cannot - our reactions are slower and our eyesight is not so good.
I agree with Mr Stamp. At the age of 70 we should retake the driving test. At the age of 80, we should be off the road and our licence withdrawn.
The Brighton and Hove bus service is wonderful and if we need to transport our weekly shopping, we can go home by taxi. At the age of 80, if we can afford a car, we can afford a taxi.
