IN the Daily Echo February 11, three men answered the question logically that a driver should not be made to finish driving on an age basis.
I am an 83-year-old who drives a 2.5 litre car and enjoys every moment I drive.
I feel very confident because every 2 years I have a driver appraisal by the Driver Skills Scheme 60+, run by the Hampshire County Council and my eyes tested every year and to day, have passed each appraisal with very god marks.
I don’t disagree that many older drivers have lax their driver skills and should be retested on regular occasions.
I will also add that many under 60’s need retesting too.
Those over 60 can telephone Winchester 0300551375 to go on the Drivers Skills Scheme 60+.
There is no worry that you can lose your license.
Younger drivers can also improve their driving by the Institute of Advanced Motoring. Drive safe, drive confident.
