It's not only how many years that you've held a license to drive that measures experience. It's miles covered and attitude as well. I've clocked up over 600,000 miles in the 21 years I've been driving. That's a lot of time to screw up and make a mess. And a lot of time to learn from screwing up.

My Dad is 71 and he's starting to lose the finer points of his driving skills. Again, high mileage driver but age takes its toll.

At 38, I'm just about managing to kid myself I'm still young. And I hope that experience teaches me to lay off the fast driving when I really am no longer up to it.
