1) I think people should retake their test when they're old. In the UK, elderly drivers are a huge hazard driving erratically and slow at the same time.

2) This will bring up a safety issue with airbags. Maybe he could have saved the accident by seeing the road.

Either way, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I doubt the CEO of FIAT is too old to drive!

The article said he rear ended a 76 years old.

Lavic, I think he's talking about the Renault driver.

"A safety issue with airbags", only a lawyer would suggest that. Airbags save lives, but I do agree with the testing of the elderly.

Where I come from, If you ram someone from behind, your responsible.

So, the Fiat Ceo would be responsible.

Yes... he should hand the keys of his 599 to me. I would be a better owner for the car.

I have to say that the 599 GTB is one of the best cars out there. When TopGear tested it against all the other latest supercars, they absolutely loved it. It does everything with such competence and such ferocity. It has a back seat! If only it were half price, I would have one in my garage right now...
