<div dir="ltr">Well, THAT was harsh. You might want to forward
that to his family just so they know how you feel about him.
When exactly is it you think we should all stop driving? Is
it 75? 80? I'm 71, I just want to get your advice on what
age I'm endangering other people.

<div style="background-color:white">To be honest, I have
no respect for such a person, or better 82 years old
fart who brought others in danger with his driving.
Thankfully no other person was invoved and injured. <br>
<br>
Its very common all over in central Europe to have these
ditches, trees or even walls along country roads. That
is how we love it. <br>
<br>
For big money you can book in to take part in one of
these leasure raĺlys, where you get all accomodation
organised, only you have to come from a to b along.
these rallys are mainly booked from those mainly elderly
people who do not know what to do otherwise with their
money, even they are completely overextended by driving
an old classic car. <br>
<br>
One should be wise enough to give up driving, when you
are no more capable to drive. <br>

I am only sorry about the wrecked Austin-Healey.</div>

Most of them weren't "open" ditches--they were filled
with rocks. <br>
<br>
I fondly recall the time we missed a left-hander, went
off the road, somehow hurtled OVER the ditch and landed
in a tree in a fellow's front yard. As I remember it he
stood there rather stunned while we cleared the branches
out of the wheel openings, then hopped into the car and
took off without much conversation. <br>

Just like Newfoundland which for me was a major factor
in giving up on the Targa there. <br>

Italian roads are amazing for driving through beautiful
countryside, but they are deadly because all the roads
are surrounded by open drainage ditches. <br>

I saw this yesterday. Very sad on so many levels. I was
wondering if this is the drive a number of the Southern
California Healey Association members are on in Europe
at this moment. <br>
