Still driving:106-year-old Eileen Ash took her test in 1937
The number of over 70s holding a driving licence has exceeded five million for the first time. New figures from the DVLA show 265 of them are over 100 years old.
Eileen Ash is 106-years-old. She passed her test 81 years ago and is still confident being on the road.
She told our correspondent Matthew Price she has never been re-tested. She says: "There are good drivers and bad drivers of all ages." And "If you can't see the cars on the road, or the pedestrians on the pavement, it's time to take a test."
