For your burning question you asked, do older motorists drive as well as younger ones?

The nerve of it! The three who responded were Messrs David Shutt, 19, Burnley; Nathan Hibbert, 20, Blackburn; and Lee Thornton, 19, Blackburn.

Three young men with less than the total age of 51 years. Of course they may have achieved as much time as ten years’ collective experience of safe driving – who knows? But do they really know it all?

OK, so how about a challenge of driving skills?A given distance and time, say A to B; a free provided vehicle, fuel supplied; a recognised map; no devices allowed. All competitors accept the challenge on the same day. Rules all regard to the law.

In return, all three boys must match or defeat my challenge. I will donate one pound per minute to the Air Ambulance that betters my return time.
