    Duke of Edinburgh had a car accident yesterday as someone T-Boned him pulling out off his driveway!

    It makes a change for him to be involved in a car accident, rather than just arranging them for other people! :D

    I think a better headline would have been.....
    97-year-old immigrant causes crash, after changing name to disguise alien origins and living off the state for 70 years. :D

    (In fairness I did just steal al the above from elsewhere and had to share it!)

    Love it!

    There is a serious undertone to this incident...the geezer is 97 years old.
    I think that there should be a mandatory upper age limit at which point you have to prove yourself physically able to react to certain stimuli.....like ducking a good right hander! - or similar more scientific tests.

    There's no way he's come out of that upturned jobbie alright o_O

    I reckon he's pegged it.....and they'll just stuff him and put castor's under his shoes to wheel him out on the odd state occasion :confused:

    Cmon @Mattie660 I'm dying to hear your conspiracy theory on this ;) :D

    Maybe it's the fault of Brexit :rolleyes:

    In fact...where was @Spygoat yesterday?

    Maybe the Donald ordered it so he can marry Lizzie and build a big wall on our Southern border :)

    Apparently there was a baby in the other car too! Like he'd get done for D&D or DWDCAA!

    It's not a proper LR, its a Freelander! :D

    I was expecting it to be the armoured Range Rover and the Kia would have flipped over the top as it stood still! :D

    ... in all seriousness would he really have conducted a breathalyser test or just have gone through the “motions”?

    It's ok it seems the 'sun' dazzled him...

    Hmm.... I think it's no coincidence that China have landed on the dark side of the moon where no one can see them o_O

    I reckon they've taken one of @Selmer50mark 's massive left over tin foil pie trays & have set it up to deflect the sun in an attempt to assassinate all of us bikers who've dissed Chinese parts!

    I think @bazzashadow was riding behind Phil in his job as royal knicker washer & the deflective ray hit the Rangy instead :cool:

    I've rung the police to tell them but they keep putting the phone down :rolleyes:

    I know the spot well were it happened and no doubt now we will have speed camera, reduced speed limits etc.

    what winds me up is the coverage it is getting and the media stating maybe he should stop driving, reporters at the scene looking at some glass on the floor saying this was the window, silly.

    as for oldies driving if they still have everything fully functioning why not, 17 year olds have accidents and we are not trying to take them off the road.

    also great road for a ride and bikes meet at Hunstanton most Sundays :)

    Pete
