Woman of 86 takes her Clio for a drive on train tracks.

[chapperzuk]

Just read this story of how an 86 year old woman turned right in her Renault Clio at a level crossing and drove along a train track in Hampshire. Luckily both the woman and the 20 year old passenger were fine and the train drivers were alerted before something bad happened. That's just taking the whole 'track day' thing one step to far though IMO.

LOL! craziness!

 

[Revels]

I thought Ali sold her Clio ages ago?

 

[mace¬]

Easy mistake to make.

Elderly drivers ey. I bet she can insure a 1*2 for less then 1k though!!

 

[Wests Renault]

You would have thought her passengers would have said something!

Morons!

 

[CBetts]

Yeah, like "DO YOU REALISE YOUR DRIVING ALONG A f**kING TRAIN TRACK"

'An 86 year old woman and her 20 year old companion'

Haha, dirty old girl. :evil:

 

[Mr Burns]

LOL @ Trackday!

More proof that the elderly are dangerous.

 

[JezzaMac]

Pretty worrying that she has been driving if she cant tell the difference between a train track and a road.... :/

 

[Scrooge]

Clios handle like they're on rails....

 

[Will.]

Looks like fun tbh.

You'd be surprised, once over 85 it goes up loads.

My grandad is paying over £600 for a 1.2 twingo and he's 87!

 

[The Fatty]

this is why 85 year old shouldnt be driving!!!

My thoughts exactly.

 

[eurorob]

to be fair she prob didnt realise she was driving on train tracks, i mean have you seen the states of some roads these days, council need to get there fingers out, oh and more signs at level crossings aswell, CLEARLY!

Piss off!

Lol I guess she wanted to see how true this statement is.

FML! Hit 60 and you get tested bi-yearly.

 

[M4D M4X]

Even more reason that after a certain age you should re do your hazard awareness test or even driving test.

But to read that their was a 20 yr old at her side it's a surprise that they didn't mention anything.

hahahaha :rofl:

I can see the funny side - but stuff like this makes my piss boil. And WTF was the 20-year-old doing?!?!?! Stop the car FFS!!!

When I went into Renault yesterday, some old codger had to be told AGAIN that he'd come into the wrong dealership and that Fiat was next door. Maybe the large 30ft x 30ft yellow banners on the wall that proclaim RENAULT failed to gain his attention. The owd giffer pushed in front of me twice too. I don't think on purpose. I genuinely think he had no idea I was there.

Scary. They simply shouldn't be on the road.

D.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Slut.

Car problems = Renault garage

...Easy mistake!

 

[ch!ppen]

It is worrying that people like this are on the road. Being older doesn't always make you a safer driver, clearly.

There was an old lady in my are done this in her brand new fiesta last year!

Stupid old b******s

Won't be volunteering at the old peoples home any time soon then?

 

[LiamR172]

I donr mind old people, just meaning these 2 old people.

Just imagine the accident they could cause, if they think the railway is the bloody road!!

Yeah I'm only joking dude, I know exactly what you mean. It is very worrying! I've seen some old drivers that I just have to overtake otherwise I think I'd end up in an accident. Sat navs should have markers for OAP Drivers on them so we can avoid them lol

 

[LiamR172]

So strange...

after posting my previous comment, i went out and i was on the main road... car infront is turning in and theres a car waiting to pull out at the junction.

car infront turns in and the dozy old b**ch at the junction pulled out RIGHT infront of me. i had to swerve into the central reservation to aviod smashing into the back of her!

:lolup::lolup::lolup::lolup:

 

[Heathypolo]

hence why old people shouldn't drive! well.. they should do a test of some form to make sure they don't ***** about and get in people's way/go up a train track :s
