A right of passage as the year ticks over.
Shirley Stott Despoja muses on the joys of comfort reading and 'bad' fiction.
Yes, I do indulge in a bit of mindless trash reading from time to time, quick hide the New Idea!
So I can understand Shirley stott Despoja's fascination.
It's time to let go a bit in January.
But the assertion that older drivers are hard done by in having an annual check is a furphy.
I know the perils of many an older driver who long ago should have relinquished their licence, including my own dad.
Even with the regulations it is very hard to 'encourage' someone that they need to consider other options for transport.
The reality is after 80 there is a lot more that can go wrong physically.
As a society it is not acceptable to bury our heads in the sand and say it will never happen to me.
It may be you will happily motor on into your 90's and beyond, all power to you.
But lets have the courage to be really honest.
The only shame is to go on pretending that age is not an issue.
