Judge warns families over elderly drivers

A judge has warned families that they need to take responsibility for ensuring elderly relatives stop driving before they become a danger to themselves and others.

The warning came after a 90 year old retired doctor killed another motorist by driving the wrong way down the A30 in Hampshire. Dr Turner Waddell, who had vision below the legal limit for driving, and was in the early stages of dementia, was travelling west on the eastbound carriageway when he crashed into Neil Colquhoun's Vauxhall Vectra on a bend at 70mph.
