Well said! I also have had 3 minor accidents of which none were my fault. Trouble was all three were young drivers with no insurance!!!

I’m over eighty, have been driving since fifteen, have travelled thousands of miles including throughout Europe and the Middle East and have had three vehicle accidents, one of which was when I was fifteen and the car in front of me moved forward at a stop sign then stopped while I was looking left for on-coming traffic. The latest one when I was in my late seventies when driving in France and misjudged the passing distance on a bridge, and the third one in my forties when a car spun out of control in front of me on a wet road. We oldies have had years of practising competent driving and are pretty experienced. We have also learned to anticipate risk and dopey drivers. Perhaps if young drivers survive long enough, they will come to realise that turbo racing on public roads is not being a skilled driver.
