Unsure why it needs to be posted on social media by police. I'm also unsure why someone thinks a 73 year old shouldn't be driving a Porsche.

Do you have to drive crap cars when you reach a certain age?

Glad the poor chap was ok, I agree about the police posting it on social media, it would have been done anyway but it's not necessary by the Police. No-one was hurt and I'm sure the chaps pride had already suffered a rather large dent. I've never been happy either with the Police posting cases on Facebook, I'm subscribed to my local Police and whilst I agree posting cases increases the chances of people being caught I don't agree when people are arrested them being plastered on FB for all to comment, it's a step too far IMHO.

Ooh, that looks fooked!

I hope the driver was also the owner - imagine trying to explain that to someone else who owned the car! :roll:
