100 year old driving school

That sounds quite interesting. I haven't seen the programme, but what's funny about it?
(I presume the 100 years refers to the age of the drivers, not the school).

I do think that an age of 100 years must make driving quite a risky thing, and should not be allowed.
I packed up driving when I reached my 90th birthday, not because I felt incompetent about driving,
but because I knew that if I became involved in an accident, whatever the reason, people would say,
"He shouldn't be driving at that age". My wife, however, assured me that my driving was quite alright.

I had been driving for over 70 years, and to be honest, the only slight problem I experienced was when
driving though a town unknown to me, with complicated road junctions, when I didn't feel too happy.
I was happier on routes that I knew.

Aggers it was terribly entertaining, that's what Some of the drivers were as good as many a younger one, but the best thing about it was their lively characters One lady was still doing yoga, daily, at 105! It was a great watch

Didn't see it, but it did get good reviews.

I think the key is being comfortable and knowing your limitations, really. Even down here, I've developed "rat-runs" to avoid certain junctions and "core routes" that I'm now familiar with. Mind you, you wouldn't get me driving the M25 at 65, let alone 100!

I don't think anyone, of any age, enjoys the M25 Ossie

[AliasAggers]

I never enjoyed any motorways.

I never enjoyed any motorways.

Who does?

But as this is the entertainment board I can tell you my sis found this programme hilarious!

[Kaz]

Ally, they were all such characters! It was brilliant

[JoM]

Was this on BBC? I'm going to have to look for it on catch up, it's sounds excellent!

[Kaz]

No it's ITVI Jo Not sure what day it actually goes out, as we've been watching on the hub
