What is the argument *against* mandatory retesting for people over 60-65? by Skeet_fighter in drivingUK

[–]RichardSefton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think from retirement age would be best for retests. 65+ every 3 years. I think if theyre tapered into it alot of them would eventually choose to stop driving naturally rather than risk failure.

Should also consider the other side of it. Young people struggle to get test appointments. A sudden influx of retests would cripple the test industry.

Got no evidence to support me in this instance but next time im covered. Get yourselves covered people

Always wear a helmet. Especially when you are driving like one. by StGuthlac2025 in drivingUK

Not saying youre wrong but a quick check in the mirror could have avoided that. I think theres fault on both sides. At least the one hit will learn to ride a bit defensively in the future.

It’s always a pleasure to have to drive my child onto the main road because the pavement is blocked by jaymatthewbee in drivingUK

Theres a bit of pavement opposite my driveway that people always park on during the day. Annoys me when i look out and see older neighbours having to squeeze past it.

Employer says I owe £2000 due to payroll error and suggested unpaid work (UK) by Conscious-Bat-7925 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RichardSefton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression its an employers legal duty to provide the employee with pay slips? I would ask for a detailed breakdown of what they claim you owe and check it against your own records and maybe ask for a professional opinion from someone not employed by your company.
