Same here with an instructor from Hendon. the whole trip with blue lights, siren etc.
The article mentions that the death rate for over 70's accidents has increased from 90 in 2010 to 140 in 2020 however obviously the over 70 population has als0 increased substantially therefore the ratio may still be the same?
The figures given in the Mirror are actual deaths and show an increase, but they are not death rates which would require the deaths to be related to some other parameters such as the population under review, miles driven etc. The D oT paper that I linked to above gives a far more balanced view.
