Ten top tips from the AA

Three-quarters of men in their 70s now hold a driving licence, 50 per cent up on 20 years ago, new figures show. And within another 20 years, 90 per cent of men aged over 70 will still be behind the wheel.
To help better understand this growing area of British motoring, the AA has produced a 10-point guide and fact sheet for anyone concerned about an ageing driver.

The rise in the number of female drivers in their 70s over the past 20 years has been even more dramatic, tripling from 11 per cent in 1986 to 31 per cent in 2006. By 2026, nearly 80 per cent of women aged over 70 will be driving licence holders.
