Torquay area seems to be a little safer than here in Exmouth. We have at least 20 retirement complexes and one just built has a minimum age for occupiers of 70. Nearly every ride, you will get a car pull out.
The one that got me crippled in 1979 was a young man but he was just not looking as he came out of the pub car park. Not drunk, he was just turning around and in a hurry. Smashed into the side of me and then blamed me but the Court found him guilty.
