@kirstylea20111@GMB @toryboypierce @AvaSantina Hi - one of those people was my mum - another was her friend. The driver who killed them was 65 and had been told for over 10 years he was unfit to drive - he couldn’t see the steering wheel of the car. We are calling for mandatory sight tests for All drivers not just over 70’s

“This tragedy was not inevitable. It was entirely avoidable. We are left grappling with the painful truth that if this man had acted responsibly, our mum would still be with us."
The family of Marie Cunningham - who died after being hit by a driver who continued getting behind the wheel despite being told to stop by medical professionals due to his failing eyesight - spoke after an inquest which revealed 'many life-threatening gaps’ in a current system which relies on drivers 'self-referring' their conditions to the DVLA.
The inquest, which investigated the deaths of four people killed by drivers who had been told they were unsafe, heard estimates that around 2% of drivers would currently fail the present driving eyesight test, which would equate to around 750,000 drivers a day, and 4,250 journeys every day on the M25.

A massive ‘Thank you’ 😘 to everyone who signed our petition to install urgent safety measures along Lulworth Road Birkdale, hopefully preventing future collisions from happening

Our thoughts are with the families of these two much-loved grandmothers. This driver ignored the warnings that his eyesight was below the required standard and took two innocent lives. He has been jailed for 7 years and 4 months #FixOurBrokenJusticeSystem
