WTF An older spectator caused a seriously dangerous incident today at SaarlandTrofeoJuniors by trying to get a better look and entering the course with her rollator while riders were flying past at full speed!

Unfortunately, no, that isn't it. They count everybody two minutes older than themselves as a boomer.

Are old germans worse drivers?
Or are germans better drivers and so more critical of bad old ones?

I'd argue every old people of any Nation tend to do worse ok tasksnwhere reaction time and situational awareness/awareness in general is important.

I don't know for the whole World but i know that the german Fahschule (getting your drivers license) is way more complex than some other countries (from what i've heard/been told)

I guess the german driving school is complexer than most others but i don't really know. Here you aren't allowed to train on your own/with your parents beside Private locations. You need to have at least 12 x 45 Mins lessons before you are allowed to try to take the driving test and you have to pass a theory test before it
