Never had an accident against me in nearing 50 yrs driving. Not had a parking or speeding ticket either. and i used to regularly drive over 400mls a day.

if i ever feel im not driving as well as i can or used to, i will give it up.

Yup, no doubt your considerable experience of driving when you were younger has helped. How are you though when other people are in the car, talking amongst each other and/or to you, while you're trying to concentrate on driving? Or maybe, you've not done that in a long time?

That's often the acid test for me, and certainly where my dad struggles (concentrating on two or three things at once), whereas when you're younger you just take all that in your stride. Reaction time, is also another thing, should having to brake suddenly be necessary, or anticipating danger and being aware enough to spot things before they happen.

im inclined to drive alone, but someone talking is no different really than my talking books i have on. im pretty good at spotting an issue before it often happens, and thats where experience comes in. Reaction time will have slowed(it always does as you age) but if your experienced you can avoid issues by seeing them in advance etc.. also driving a little slower too especially when weather is not good, visibility, rds you dont know or heavier traffic etc.
Ive found driving faster usually gains you little in long run, except more stress. patience with other drivers is also needed more now.

Yup, defo:)

if you or the princess are in my car you shall both be safe:D

Lol, cheers... If the princess *gets in* your car, mate, you'll be honoured, as you know what she's like!:D Many have failed to meet the required standard..

But, she says that she's no doubt her uncle Granty would have his car nice and clean for her:)

Have you ironed the red carpet yet?:lol:
