    That bit doesn't ring true to me.

    I was worried for my dads driving when he was in his 70's, but 97! .... and in his position, I don't buy it. However, I do buy a 'normal' 97 year old pulling out.

    I bet he wasn't breathalyzed. Medical reasons. He does like a tipple.

    Missis were in with him by sounds .
    Police were informing him that he was doing forty in a thirty zone a charge he continually denied until his mississ said I wouldn’t bother arguing with him officer especially when he’s had a drink.
    He was breathalysed immediately

    Am I right in thinking that you think this story is completely staged?

    Pulling out? TBH I doubt he has had it in for a number of years.

    I didn't think I was a conspiracy theorist....I am now re-thinking that theory.

    Agreed. News now all about this crash and not about the real issues of the day.

    Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt. I'm not sure why, at his age, he was driving anyway.

    Especially with his passion for a drink. Was quick off the mark to get home and leave the scene.

    This will be gone tomorrow and Brexit has hasn't left the news to accommodate this story. I can't see any conspiracy in other things happening at the same time as Brexit.

    Apparently being reported that he was breathalysed but was clear. I hope that's true because drinking and driving is unforgivable for anyone, more so for somebody who has a chauffeur.

    He was involved in a car crash in 1997, to be fair.

    If he's still got the chance to pull out at 97 good luck to him.
