I rather suspect attendance on an SAC would only reinforce my long-

Oh, good! I am happy to report that I'll get to find out soon...

You have the NIP or have you just been filmed:-).

The very friendly Dayglo-clad man hidden in a hedge told me, once he'd
put his hairdryer down.


If I get the offer I will attend the SAC course. If only to prove your
working hypothesis about re-testing of all drivers. What do you think -
a re-test every 10 years? I would be happy to re-test.

Hmm.. I suppose compulsory testing at 70+ would be sensible. While I
consider myself a safe driver a pass would require considerable brushing
up on aspects of the Highway Code that I have forgotten or that have
changed over the last 53 years.

Towing rules for instance seem pretty impenetrable.

Something beyond personally ticking the boxes on the health
questionnaire. Shotgun and firearm certificate renewal (every 3 years)
require comment from your doctor as well as a statement from a suitable
acquaintance.
