A small request...

I'd like to ask you to consider signing this petition. Last year a girl was killed in Colchester by an elderly driver, who also later died. This man had been involved in an accident days before and the police attending found his eyesight was not up to standard and I imagine had other concerns about his fitness to drive. Short of locking him up, all they could do was file a report to the DVLA. This report may have still been sat on the fax machine as he got in to his car and began the journey that ended in the tragic loss of two lives. If the police had powers to temporarily suspend licenses until a medical examination was completed then maybe this may have been prevented.

 Also if you have concerns about a relative or a friend's fitness to drive, do all you can to encourage them to stop driving...
