Philip Imundi The week began with more accidents that caused damage and traffic problems in various parts of our country, and one of the most significant involved minors, highlighting the importance of having all the safety equipment to ensure they do not suffer serious consequences. The downside of accidents is the force of their impact, which leads to subsequent problems.
An 88-year-old man was driving the car involved in the crash.
We often hear about driving age, and there's always a debate over what age someone should declare themselves inactive behind the wheel. With Matteo Salvini 's new law, the rules for renewing driving licenses will be more stringent for people over 80.
This is normal because at that age, but often even earlier, reflexes change and slow down , and due to a lack of alertness, one is unable to quickly manage the accelerator and brake controls, thus resulting in very dangerous situations that can sometimes even cost one's life.
As disheartening as it is to admit you're no longer able to drive, it's a positive thing for traffic, as there are no dangerous drivers on the roads—like the 88-year-old man involved in an incident in the town of Baldissero Torinese.
Accident between a car and a school van involves six children.
The incident occurred this morning shortly before the nursery school opened. The school bus driver was picking up six children who were supposed to go to nursery school . Suddenly, at the height of Via Roma, as reported by the TorinoToday website , the car collided with the vehicle.
The car was a Ford Puma, driven by an 88-year-old man who suffered minor injuries and was taken to Chieri Hospital . The children, however, were unharmed.
This case has rekindled the debate over older drivers who continue to use rural roads despite having serious difficulties operating their four-wheeled vehicles, a situation that has been fueled by lax controls for driving licence renewals.
