Happily minding my own business down the A420 this afternoon when the car in front of me suddenly made an emergency lane change. I was then faced with a little green metro stopped in the fast lane. 
It became obvious in those few seconds as I braked that the lady in the metro had missed the lane to turn right and froze. Her turn signal was still blinking just a 100 yards ahead of the turn. She seemed oblivious to the world around her and didn't move forward until I honked my horn, perhaps scared s**tless because a CLK nearly flattened her boot. She was though, furiously talking to her passenger, pointing this way and that, perhaps her passenger was a "back seat driver". 
The moral of this story, is I think it's high time to start testing people over a certain age to assess their continued ability to handle a car. This woman, IMHO, does not deserve the privelage to drive anymore. She seemed to be treating the fast moving A420 for the village green.
