Meet George Geeson: He's just turned 100, still drives, has never crashed and has just had his license extended for another three years.

And his wife is still alive - she's 97.

Oh, and he had a 1960s S-Type - I think we'd all like on of those.

I for one know I wont be driving at that age.

The Article said:
In the past 85 years he has only ever been involved in one accident – when another motorist shunted into the back of him in the pouring rain in 1958.
Top Stuff, Driving from age 15 to age 100 with only one collision (the driver behind was at fault so it wasn't an "Accident")

Only had decent cars from '65 to '76 then went boring again, what a shame! frown
