Or he swerved....to hit a black man?

Could be a family thing.

 

His uncle, Leggy Mountbatten was said to have nearly caused an accident in India when he ordered his driver to open the barriers at a level crossing then left them open as he was in too much of a hurry to go back and close them. 🚂 😱 😱 😱

He caused the accident but the beeb are trying to make him  look like a Hero.   All through the beeb witness interview they only asked him to repeat himself when he mentioned  Phillip asked how the others were.  Probably bricking it because he thought he had killed somebody.  Stop him driving the Looney.

Looking at the damage it doesnt seem either car was hit significantly enough to roll over a Discovery. I'm wondering if he binned it on the way to the T junction (there is a sharp bend on the road that joins the main road there.) He rolled over the main road and the other car crashed avoiding him....?

Apparently is was a Freelander, not a Discovery or a Range Rover.

A lethal weapon with that idiot behind the wheel.  Just wonder if  he has been doing the  3 year retest is age supposed to do by Law.  Here is the answer.  NO!  HE HASN'T

They only need to renew their driving licence every three years.  They don't have to do a retest.

I bet they won't prosecute him but I suspect he will be persuaded to surrender his licence.

 

Fair play for him to still be driving at that age but somebody could have been killed yesterday. The dodgy solicitor who got Beckham off his speeding case has just said on the BBC that the CPS will almost certainly decide that it would not be in the public interest to prosecute him.

Quelle surprise!  And people wonder why I'm a republican!

Of course not.  He's Admiral of the Fleet so he outranks Admiral Insurance. 

 

Seriously.  It takes some force to roll a 2.5 ton Range Rover. 

Agree. But it was a 1 ton Land Rover Freelander.

It wasn't a Discovery.  It was a Freelander.  Half the size and weight of a Discovery.

No one has asked the obvious questions though: should someone of that age (97) be driving on the roads or should it be compulsory for anyone over a certain age group to have a regular tests to confirm they are fit to drive?

It should be compulsory for those aged 75 years and over to have an annual test to see if they are still capable of driving safely.  There...I answered your question!

[jaffa1]

Why is everyone assuming  it was the Dukes fault just because of his age?

The young female could have been going at a fair old speed but we will just have to wait for the outcome.
