I'm 89 years old and I've been driving, advanced driving, since 1961. I passed my
00:11
test in the army at 17 and then I did so well that they asked me to do a driver's
00:22
instruction course and I took that and passed that and at 17 years old I was a
00:31
driving instructor in the army. Every three years I've taken an advanced test
00:38
and I've always passed at first and the Rosper test I also take for three every
00:47
three years and I've got a lot of certificates. In fact all the certificates
00:55
are for gold standard whereas you can pass at bronze, silver or gold and I
01:03
always pass at gold. When was the last time you took your test? Last Saturday I
01:11
took an advanced test with the IAM and I did so well that the advanced examiner
01:25
recommended very strongly that I go for the master's driving and he recommended
01:34
that I do it as soon as possible.
