Older drivers are the safest
Drivers over 70 are no more likely to cause crashes than any other driver, and are considerably safer than younger drivers, according to a report published by a motoring charity.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) report revealed that between 2000 and 2006, 8% of drivers were over 70 and they were involved in about 4% of crashes that cause injury, while the 15% of drivers in their teens and 20s were involved in 34% of injury crashes.

Car Scrappage Scheme Update
The Government has confirmed it is extending its car scrappage scheme for old cars for up to a month.
Lord Mandelson praised the scrappage scheme as a 'great success'.
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson announced the scheme would now continue until the end of March or until the remaining funds ran out, whichever is sooner. The scheme, which offered a £2,000 grant to motorists trading in vehicles over 10 years old for new models, had been due to end this month. It was introduced in the last April Budget in an effort to revive flagging car sales.
