00:00Well, age base for drivers, yes, but I think over 50 is a bit harsh.

00:07To be honest, I think 50 plus drivers, they've got the experience.

00:12I drive myself, I'm actually over 70.

00:16Your licence, they last for three years.

00:19Once you're 70, you have to renew it every three years anyway, OK?

00:23I'd say 75.

00:25But I think as they get to, like, maybe 70, 75,

00:30maybe go and see someone, talk,

00:34have a little drive around and see how they are.

00:38But I'm sorry, you know, I'm...

00:40Youngsters, I see people driving cars every day

00:43who shouldn't be on the road, I don't think,

00:45and they're well under 50.

00:47So to say people over 50 can't drive is absolutely ridiculous.

00:52I reckon they should go for another test.

00:54As they get older, every two or three years,

00:58go for a driving test.
