I feel for you Old tree man, I really do. At least you are still here all be it battered and bruised. I hope you mend well and quick. Thinking of you now...

The sad thing is that drivers can and do frequently kill motor cyclists and pedal cyclists and the first thing they utter is ... I didn't see him ... Well open your bloody eyes and look you moron.

I was a cycle terrorist in my youth but even I gave up due to bad drivers and a bit of ill health etc but as an advanced driver I feel that all drivers should have to pass their normal test then an advanced test - either IAM or Rospa within 12 months and then be retested every three years after that.

If you fail the re test you can have 3 months to re sit the test and pass or you lose your licence for 3 months. What with ANPR camera's all over the place this would be easy to police.

Hell - older drivers really have no need to drive with the free bus pass nowadays unless they live in the back of beyond. There should be regular tests - family member was retired by the family onto a bus pass because even he knew he was getting dangerous after his wife had a stroke as there was no other driver to cover for him.

Get better soon and start a campaign for the better testing of older drivers.

I do hope you'll get better soon - these things can take a while, though, so don't try and overdo it!
