84-year-old drives 15-tonne motorhome: 'I know accidents could be avoided'

In Uckermark, a debate over elderly drivers continues. Readers of Nordkurier share their experiences: 84-year-old Robert Drexel drives a 15-tonne motorhome and believes many older drivers overestimate their abilities, but losing a licence in rural areas could be a 'death sentence'. Another reader, 77-year-old Georg Kaltwasser, gave up renewing his licence due to costs (around 1,500 euros) and instead drives a 4-tonne motorhome to Greece. 85-year-old Alois Deuber sold his motorhome for health reasons after driving over 200,000 km without accidents. Mandatory checks for elderly drivers are not in place in Germany.
