Older drivers have come under the spotlight in Buckinghamshire,
with new figures showing a dramatic increase in the number of people
over the age of 65 being involved in accidents.
Now the local council has enlisted the support of one of the World's
top rally drivers to help keep senior citizens in the fast lane.
During his racing career Paddy Hopkirk, won the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally and numerous World titles. Now 82 years old, he's backing a scheme that encourages mature motorists to get their driving checked by the professionals. Penny Silvester reports.
