And say what? You can't just ask for someones medical records.

Where did I say anything about asking for medical records? A concerned family member or friend is within their rights to seek an audience with someone's GP to explain their concerns. (The GP doesn't have to accept the request, but there's nothing wrong with a request being made).

I tend to read the posts in turn not spend time checking what times people posted. No need to get arsey.

He appears to have become senile - he drove 30 miles to a nearby town and then denied it

I think your confusing arrogant pride for being senile.
These people are the ones that say "i've been driving 50 years and NEVER had an accident, but i've seen plenty in my rear view mirror".

So you'd already seen the clarification either way before you posted, regardless of timing. No need to be unnecessarily critical.

No - it's more than just pride - he forgets where he lives and then abuses people in the street who he doesn't even know - he is senile !!

if you do it then your conscience is clear , I'd hate to hear he had run someone over or worse and you had NOT done anything

How old are you!

As it happens I saw your post then replied to it, it wasn't till after that I'd seen somebody else had already corrected you. No need to be so humpty just because someone's corrected you more than once in a thread, it happens all the time, get over yourself.

To be fair, on the first point (collision with the van), the van driver was equally liable ... he should have been aware of the surroundings, and a vehicle exiting a drive is an expected occurrence.

However, aren't elderly drivers (70+?) supposed to get "fitness to drive" notes/certificates from their GP, and pass this on the DVLA? Has anyone tried approaching the GP about this?

What a load of rubbish.
