The number of over-70s who hold a UK driving licence has exceeded four million for the first time, the RAC Foundation has said.
The foundation said 191 people a century old or more hold a licence, with a 107-year-old woman the country's oldest licensed driver.
Motorists over 70 must declare they are fit every three years, but they do not have to take a driving or medical exam.
Driving a car a 107 - I cannot see myself doing that, but over 70, yes, I'll soon be doing that.

I wonder if fitness is related to alertness.

88 is a good speed to keep to but 107 and you could be over the speed limit

Must be because of the lobbying power of those speeding wrinklies that the Qld Minister for Transport is proposing to introduce a 130kph on some roads.

This is lifted from the BBC news:

The oldest bike rider that does ride my particular motor bike is 86, Its a Missile, Honda Blackbird, 1100XX,
There are two kinds of old people,
Old, Alive and Active ones,
Old, Dead, and one foot in the grave, Ones,
One older person has an accident, Its world wide news, How many under 25's have the same accident and nothing is mentioned,
Definately bring in the 130 limit, 100 KPH puts you to sleep, White Line Fever, It used to be called,
Old, But not Slow,
