Just watched a show called “100 year old drivers” Guess what it was about! lol
What really surprised me, It wasn’t their driving, as there was a few hairy moments, it was how they lived their lives. They were always smiling and laughing, quite a few of them were quite switched on for 90-100+
Two in particular surprised me, one who played tennis regularly (Nearly 100) and another ol’ chap who rode a motorcycle at 92 or there abouts.
Got me thinking, When I was about 5 years old, my dad used to take me to work with him (Low Loader Driver) and I used to get a shot driving Bomags, then as I got older tractors, telehandlers, all terrain fork lifts, 3cx and so on. When I was 13-14 I got a shot of the truck. When I was 18 started driving buses, got my class one and Motorcycle licence when I was 21. At 23 was a bus driving instructor for a short time, then at 25 started using my class one, and I’m now nearly 27, and hopefully will stay a driver for the rest of my career.
My hobby is my motorbikes, and an looking into buying a old Discovery, to take up off roading. If I live into my 90’s and someone told me, something you’ve been doing and enjoying nearly your whole life, you are now forbidden from doing… I can only imaging the heartache, one of two of them had the attitude of “I’m not giving up my keys without a fight”.
I imaging I would be the same, although I pray to god I have the sense to stop when I become dangerous through age or illness
Anyone else see this show? Any opinions on 100+ driving…
