    How old is too old to drive?

    Anyone who passed their test before July 1996, didn't have to do a theory test. I passed in 1987 but did test myself fully on the theory when I taught my daughter to drive. It's a common sense test really. But maybe it would be a good idea for anyone who passed their test before 1996 to do a...

    How old is too old to drive?

    Medical test or driving test? If you are talking about driving tests it would be pointless because it doesn't measure your reaction time or perception. Driving a car is like riding a bike so wouldn't be a problem to pass if you are a competent driver anyway. Taking a driving test every two...

    How old is too old to drive?

    I believe that I would know when to stop driving, so it's more about people’s stubborn denial. We have all been in a car when it is bucketing down and the wipers make no difference, or have come across fog where you cannot see further than a few meters in front. If that is what it is like it...

    I don't understand the eye check up thing because you know if you have a problem with your vision or not. It should really be called making an appointment to get some glasses.

    Would you recognise the time to give up cricket, or would you leave it for your team mates to tell you?

    How old is too old to drive?

    Would you know when you are unfit to drive? I think it is more likely that people who were rubbish at driving when they were younger are also rubbish when they are older, or they are the ones who passed their test when Stonehenge was built. I wouldn't be worried about being re-tested just for...

    If StonehamPark got his way Martin Perry will be due for a re-test in the next couple of years.
