So say the older drivers who have posted in response to our earlier blog [Give up the licence Grandma] after a senior police officer suggested OAPs were a danger to the roads.

Contributors like Howell go as far as saying they're safer drivers than younger motorists and cheap insurance quotes for older drivers does suggest they're less of a risk than younger and more inexperienced drivers.

Howell adds: "Accidents involving senior citizen Drivers are fewer than those from other age groups. Insurance companies would be quick to 'load' older drivers' policies if this were the case."
