IT'S ABOUT time the authorities did something about older drivers.

For far too long older drivers have caused havoc on our highways and urban roads.

They hog the left lane, stick to the speed limits, and even have the temerity to also stick to the road work speed limit.

They stop at stop signs, causing great inconvenience and often preventing others from doing whatever they like.

Another major concern is that by avoiding fines and demerit points, they are not doing their bit for the revenue of our state, and are therefore placing a further burden on young drivers.

Until older motorists can prove they are proficient at weaving in and out of traffic, driving while texting, using drugs or doing burnouts, they must be banned.
