Do we know what actually happened? Driver could have had a heart attack or other medical emergency whilst driving. Could the driver have swerved to avoid an accident? Who knows.
It’s not the getting one, it’s the keeping one effectively for life without any eye test or medical checks, no re-taking of the theory test. No separate test for larger or high performance tests, or re-test after a driving ban.
Regardless of the circumstances of this crash which we do not know.

Bold of you to assume they had one.
i think cyclists are way more dangerous and the real problem here
This stretch of road is horrendous, needs TFL to take it over and manage it properly, Tower Hamlets are evidently happy to leave it as an urban Brands Hatch.
I don’t know why you think it’s easy to get a driving licence in the UK. It isn’t.
Sometimes people have accidents, and sometimes people drive like wankers.
People suck. People who think they’re somehow special, or more important than the rest of us, and so are entitled to break the rules, suck the most. You only have to watch a couple of those YouTube “dodgy drivers” compilations to see how dangerous that sense of entitlement can be.
I believe that if humanity survives long into the future, we’ll look back with bafflement at cars having been the default mode of transport in many countries over many years.
Giving anyone who wants it (pretty much) licence to pilot a tonne or two of metal, glass and plastic at speeds and in a manner which only they control is just bonkers, given what we know about human nature.
People who don’t have cars in London tend to be very hateful to those who do.
No one knows if he’s at fault or not. Maybe he avoided a cyclist who suddenly run just to the road from
Pavement. Maybe something else.
You all need to STFU and downvote this comment with your hatefulness
Hey that cyclist is not wearing a hi vis! 😂
Should be a retest when the actual test changes. Someone who git their license before testing was done by the DVLA basically just paid their instructor to pass them.
When the LTNs were first introduced, the number of people complaining that they didn’t know what the no motor vehicles signs meant… All those people should not be driving. We’re not talking about some obscure parking restriction sign that takes a semiotics degree to decipher. If you don’t know what that sign means, you obviously don’t know what a red circle means. You should not be on the road.
always the south asian boys they’re the worst when it comes to this…facts are facts.
The testing standards have plummeted just like everything else in the country.
That’s why those delivery motorcycles undertake every single time and have no clue it’s utterly illegal and dangerous, they all bought their CBC, and many buy their theory tests and driving tests (someone will do it for them on their behalf).
The rot started when traffic police were decimated/disbanded.
You can’t park there mate
Oi!…..you cant park that there mate!
Similar thing happened outside a primary school.
It’s easy to get a driving license? First I’ve heard
People who got a driving license pre pandemic have no idea of the wait times to even get a driving test.
