Interesting point regarding driving licences, Ben. I passed my test in 1966 and my IAM in 1978, but could I pass today's test? I'd certainly need to practice driving to a satnav!
I have very recently applied to renew my license (coming up to 70); the first time since 1981. What did surprise me was that, while I didn't need to mention my heart attack, I was required to state if I had a drug or alcohol dependency. Can you see many admitting to such a dependency, assuming they had one, if they wished to retain their right to drive? The increasing number of cases of driving while under the influence of drugs that I read about suggests some may not have been totally honest in their application.
Regards, John.
