Tony Harrison Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 BBC NewsJack Higgs, 93, was uninjured when his Ford Fiesta hit a Carrera II then flipped over onto a Porsche 911 outside a showroom in Penarth, near Cardiff."I just don't know what happened except that I lost control as I was reversing and suddenly I had hit the cars. The next thing I knew I was hanging upside down in my car thanking my lucky stars I was still alive."WTF?!(Best of the int0rwebzorrzzzz? Sorry mods...)

Synergy Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 people of that age shouldnt be driving.fare enough they might struggle with life and need ways of getting to places i understand that but they simply dont have the reactions younger people eg 40 year olds have there is a lot of old drivers near us and they caus emore accidents than anyone. driving at 15 mile an hour slowing half a mile before the junction.sorry but my opinion. also lol he picked 2 cheap cars t crash into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I saw this this morning and still don't understand quite how he managed it... The red porsche is only scratched really but Jack must've been going at some speed to roll his car like that. I demand a reconstruction...I also strongly agree that after a certain age people should have to sit fairly regular 'check-ups' to ensure that they're still safe to drive. I bet over 40-50% of over 70's would be found to be dangerous and a lot of accidents would be avoided if that were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Pretty sure he reversed actually up the back of the red one, then slipped off the side and rolled over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Pretty sure he reversed actually up the back of the red one, then slipped off the side and rolled over!Yeah that's what I think too but if you look at the height of the back of a fiesta vs. the height and shape of the back of that Porsche, it doesn't look like it would 'go' that easily. You'd think he'd of just smashed into the Porsche and rammed it into the wall or something. Love the fact in cases like this they don't realise something's going wrong, he just kept his foot in and went right up the car- didn't think at the first bang to maybe let off the gas and brake...Another good one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Like the way the damage is 100x the worth of his car.Granted there are oap's who can drive properly, but they get free bus travel now so they should make the most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Sheehan! Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Old people shouldnt drive, as most of them havent even taken a test for driving or anything like that, so i reckon they should all be tested again, and if they pass be let free. On the other hand they have free bus passes so why not use them?EDIT: P.S. IN. Edited April 15, 2008 by Joe Sheehan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The difference is, old people know they're lame, young people think they're good. I'd raise the age limit to 21 unless you need a car for some particular reason (i.e. job such as salesman, BT engineer, etc). And make the test harder.
