Yes it is insane, even if he is medically fit, his reactions will be slower, those poor people in that car, I wonder if he pulled out in front of them as he was coming out of a side road

I was thinking about this.Maybe he knows he doesn’t have long left and decided he wants one last drive before he pops his clogs.
Whatever the reason.It’s fecking insane at that age. |

This accident could happen to anyone blinded by the sun.
He is a royal so he has had the best of everything in life, that’s the reason he is so active at 97. Bad drivers come in all ages. |

With the best will in the world, a person aged 97 is not going to have the concentration and reactions of a younger person. There is a reason people have to re-apply for driving licenses regularly after the age of 70, it's for everyones safety. Also, the onus is on the individual, to always make sure they are fit and ready before driving. It's not easy to give up independence, but at 97, he should be well used to it by now.

We had to take my grandads car off him when he turned 90, he was becoming a menace. He was a good driver but the older he got the slower he drove. He was never the same after my dad and uncle took it away, he had lost the last of his younger life and independence. The news last night said that he is fiercely independent so probably was clinging on to that. Will be interesting to find out the details and who was at fault.

It is possible that he was blinded by the sun but that doesn't negate him being at fault, as the rule is always "if you can't see that the road is clear, assume that it isn't". Last edited by Toy Soldier; 18-01-2019 at 08:35 AM. |

yes accidents happen every day, but coming out of a side road into traffic is generally pretty safe if you gauge the distance of the oncoming traffic correctly and if you are blinded by the sun, then you wait until you can see what is coming

driving in London is also not the same as driving in the country. People pull out in front of other cars all the time in London, and everyone is prepared for it and is ready for it .... it's not the same in the country ... different rules apply .... my guess is that circumstance applied here. Big Phil expected the other driver to slow down and let him out

He has glasses so the glare of the sun can get you, he was not charged so it’s classed as an accident.

As if the Queens husband not being charged is "proof" that he wasn't in the wrong though

Lets not forget Diana, i'm still convinced the Royals were behind that, and nothing happened to them.

Nobody is saying he did it deliberately () but it was an accident caused by him. If the sun is in your eyes, you simply don't go. |
