94-year-old Sylvia: Driving is 'anti-ageing'

More than a million people over the age of 80, and 230 over the age of 100, are currently qualified to drive in the UK.

Sylvia is 94 and has been driving for 50 years.

She said "driving makes me feel able, it's anti-ageing, it's freedom - I can go where I want".

Sylvia thinks retests for older people are "probably a good idea" but admitted she'd "probably fail on hesitation".
