100 Year Old Driving School

This week, RoSPA have set-up campaign HQ at Hicks Gate fire station in Bristol, and watching their endeavours are a bemused set of fire fighters. First up to take his first ever driving test is former army major John Hamilton, now in his 100th year. A self-taught driver who first drove a Bren Gun Carrier, John thinks of himself as a capable driver: "half the accidents I've had have been other people's fault", but it's a rocky start when he mounts the curb within the first few seconds of his assessment.

Elsewhere, 100-year old Geoffrey Gillow has a point to prove to his daughter who wants him to stop driving, and we also meet 91-year old Alfie Harris in Wolverhampton, who must now take the big decision on whether the time has come to hand in his keys.

RoSPA's national campaign continues in Bristol. Among the drivers hoping to impress is former stunt aficionado Dick Sheppard, who set a record for successfully walking away from over 2,000 car write-offs.

This week, RoSPA are in Box Hill, Surrey, to carry out driving assessments at a Bike Café, much to the amusement of passing bikers. First up is Bomber Command veteran George Dunn. Now 94 years old, George still meets up with his fellow veterans in the area and has brought his fellow comrades along for support. Yoga devotee Eileen Ash, one of the UK's oldest drivers at 105 years of age, hopes for another few years of driving ahead of her. Meanwhile, in rural Snowdonia, we meet new character 97-year old John Hazzlewood, who is not letting age slow him down. The retired journalist has always loved driving and believes that one "should drive as fast as the circumstances permit".

91-year-old Bill Drake-Brockman gets her car ready for her first-ever driving test in Bristol and no-nonsense former teacher Patricia Deacon is determined to prove that she is a good driver. However, 91-year-old Patricia is not the easiest of pupils... There is also a catch-up with much-loved characters from previous series including Mary Ellis and 98-year-old Leicestershire gym fanatic Harold Veazey.
